Leaders are Made, not Born

Don't Get Tripped Up on Power
The 8 Cs for keeping power in prospective

Leaders are found in almost every stratum of life - in companies, politics,
and in social organizations such as families, groups of friends, etc.
Leaders are powerful people because they have the ability to sway the
attitudes, opinions, and actions of others. Leaders inspire, influence and
achieve results.

Everyone has the capacity to lead.  That is because everyone has the ability
to influence others.

Developing the right leadership strategy for the people you lead is crucial
to getting the results you desire.  Therefore, it is important that you
strengthen your skills to better influence, motivate, communicate and coach
your people.

Contrary to what many might think, few people are born as leaders.
Leadership is a skill that is developed over time, through practice and hard
work.

§ Character.  As a leader you will undoubtedly be confronted with competing
demands from time to time.  The ability to manage these demands with
integrity, honesty. And selflessness becomes crucial at times like these.
Being willing to sacrifice your success, your fortune, and even your life
takes guts.  Being unwilling to sacrifice your integrity takes character.
§ Courage.  Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "The ultimate measure of a
man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where
he stands at times of challenge and controversy."  Courageous individuals
take calculated risks.  They hope for the best possible outcome but are
prepared for a loss.
