To be a leader there are certain things that one must be born with. Some of the most important traits that cannot be learned but are crucial happen to be…
Charisma by definition is, “a special personal quality or power of an individual making him/her capable of influencing or inspiring large numbers of people”.
Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, even Adolph Hitler…were marvelous public speakers hence their enormous following.
Creativity is crucial…without creativity the world would be less interesting. It takes a creative mind set, which is a gift that few posses, to inspire and motivate people in different ways to keep things interesting.
Self Confidence, some may argue that this is not necessarily a “trait” because people can develop it over time but I think that it comes from a good upbringing which stems from birth. Another view on that could be that it is a trait that is instilled in you whether you have all the tools from birth or not, look at Helen Keller, she was deaf and blind yet she still had the self confidence to inspire and succeed.
I think that it is interesting that the things you admire most are trait based qualities and that you believe leaders have to be born with these things. I am on the opposite side of the spectrum because I believe leaders can be developed and that almost anyone can be a great leader with enough drive and determination. Therefore, in my mind I think that, "no one can fully believe that to be a great leader you must be born that way" but I guess I am wrong and there are people that believe that haha :)
