Are Leaders Born Or Made?

Did you know you're already a leader?

The following are excerpts from the best-seller, INSPIRATION FOR TEENS:

"It doesn't mean being in charge of a group or giving orders to others. Instead, being a leader means having an influence on others, an influence to make others think and act in a way you would like. For good or for bad.

"In practical terms, a mother influences her son with a statement that he follows, favorably or unfavorably. Likewise, the son leads his mother with a reaction that influences her response.

"The mother thus becomes a follower in her conventional role as a leader, and the son becomes a leader in his expected role as a follower. Roles are inherently fluid and always shifting, depending on who exercises influence at the moment.

"A newborn is the most insistent and effective leader: the new and excited mother is ready to respond to her child’s every reflex and expression. Leadership is not only a stimulus-response phenomenon but one of response-as-stimulus.

"American culture does not recognize nor encourage our individual inner leadership ability. Instead, it venerates leadership as a phenomenon outside of ourselves, the exclusive franchise of a select few who possess well-developed skills, or to reflect someone in authority.

"To the contrary, Peter Block in his 1987 book, The Empowered Manager, confirms our view about where you find leadership: “…if you want a leader, look in the mirror.”

Human nature offers a very simple two-word definition of leadership: to influence. Put another way, leadership is a verb, not a noun. You are active in generating an idea or an action that influences, or you are influenced by an idea or action.

"Your thinking, speaking, or acting influences you or another person to act, or not to act. It is the power of suggestion. It is found in our human nature."

Make no mistake about it, you are a born leader.
