Some people are born to lead and some have to be taught to lead. Leadership is about having influence so people can follow you. A leader cannot lead if there are no followers and there can't be followers without a leader.
The influence that a leader has can either be positive or negative. As we know there are great leaders that led people to destruction. Looking at leaders like Stalin, Hitler and Mugabe, these leaders had/have great power to influence their followers. Leadership is a great skill to have, however there are people who confuse threatening or bullying people with leadership. Followers willingly abide with instructions given by their leaders and believe what their leader is saying to be correct.
According to Corporate Training Materials.com, it said that leaders are born, not made. While it is true that some people are born leaders, some leaders are born in the midst of adversity. Often, simple people who have never had a leadership role will stand up and take the lead when a situation they care about requires it. A simple example is parenting. When a child arrives, many parents discover leadership abilities they never knew existed in order to guide and protect their offspring.
Once you learn the techniques of true Leadership and Influence, you will be able to build the confidence it takes to take the lead. The more experience you have acting as a genuine leader, the easier it will be for you. It is never easy to take the lead, as you will need to make decisions and face challenges, but it can become natural and rewarding.
