Topic 1: Is There A Leadership Gene?
Some are born great, some achieved
greatness and some have greatness trust
upon them.
When you think of a great leader what
qualities come to mind?
Can you become a great leader or do you
have to be born that way?
Nature or Nurture? It's a little bit of both
and nobody knows, but a study in the Journal
Twin Research as 247 twin pairs to fill out questionnaires about their behavior to determine who among them were leaders?
What they found was that more than half the traits that define a leader:
originality, popularity, sociability, judgment, aggressiveness, desire to excel, humor, cooperativeness, liveliness, athletic ability. These were possibly able to be pass down genetically or heritable, but what about the other half the traits like persistence, confidence? Well, another study found leaders can inspire others to be confident and thus, imbue their subordinates with confidence and creativity. So leaders can potentially teach leadership qualities to their followers. Leaders emerge because they are able to say the right things at the right time. Basically, if you're
a great leader then it's because you get people and also because you sink your brain with
theirs.
So what do you think makes a great leader?
What do you look for?
