Leadership is something important to be and it’s important that I share my own personal beliefs n what it takes to be a great leader

One of the biggest misconceptions to me is when people says that leaders are born for the role.

I believe this notion is absolutely false. Sure a 4 year old my have the traits of becoming a leader but a “Great Leader?” is something that is learned as they grow.

The truth is that leaders are made. True leaders have learned many lessons from their past that has shaped them to be who they are today.
