Abdul adamu sani Leaders are born not made?:
INTRODUCTION:
Great Man theory and Trait theories believe thatpeople inherit certain qualities and traitsthat make them better suited to leadership.
To suggest that leaders do not enter the world with extraordinary endowment is to imply that people enter the world with equal abilities, with equal talents.” (Thomas Carlyle 1840)
There are certain inborn characteristics that predispose people to be and become leaders. There is a significant difference between“learning a skill” and mastering one, in the same way that others are born with amazing musical gifts or athletic talents. They will excel naturally in these areas but others would be like a fish out of water and may struggle to get to the same point.
Born (natural) Leaders are different to made (artificial leaders).All remarkable leaders have great history behind them. They were leaders from the onset of their journey.
If leaders were solely born what is the point of the rest of us studying leadership or management?
Birth is a natural process and the notion to associate leadership with it is arguable.

ANSWER
1.Leaders are made not born:
Behavioral Theories believe thatpeople can become leaders through the process of teaching, learning and observation. Leadership is a set of skills that can be learned by training, perception, practice and experience over time. Leadership learning is lifetime activity. Good leaders seek out development opportunities that will help them learn new skills.
The military embraces this doctrine which is evident through its leadership training programme.
Can enrolling for a programme on management and leadership makes someone a leader upon completion?Can Charisma, Influence,Integrity and the ability to Inspire be taught?Will the granting of a certificate and a few letters after one’s name make them a leader?
Soft skills can be explained, but not implanted. The ability to share your vision takes more than a sophisticated PowerPoint presentation and some crisp words on a bunch of 4x6 cards.
Leadership can be learned by anyone with the basics.But an awful lot of leadership cannot be taught.Some do well but others find themselves poorly equipped rendering mediocre results.
The Verdict:
Leadership is an art rather than a science. It is a set of innate traits, refined and perfected over time with education, training and experience.
