It's not something you're born with—it's a process that involves continuous learning, having said that, I do see people with a talent of leadership.
The best leaders are always growing and developing, because no matter how good you are at one point in time, your leadership skills will eventually become outdated or irrelevant if you don't keep improving them.
Fortunately for all of us who want to lead others someday but aren't sure where to start, there's a roadmap for how to build these skills over time.
Leadership is the ability to get things done through other people.
In essence, leadership is a process of influence.
It’s about getting results from others and motivating them to follow your vision.?
Leaders have the ability to make an impact on the lives of others and contribute more than just their unique talents or ideas; they help others develop their own potential by tapping into it in such a way as to create something new and valuable—a novel product, service or solution for example.
Leaders also set direction for others so that everyone understands where we are headed (the destination), why we are going there, what benefits will be gained from reaching this destination and how we will get there (the path).?
This process starts with defining goals that can be achieved over time through specific actions taken by individuals working together as part of an integrated system toward a common goal = teamwork at its best!
Some people have a natural ability to lead, but most of us need to work at it.
Leadership is a skill that can be learned, developed and taught.
However, most people don't want to learn leadership skills because they don't think they are capable or because they think it's too difficult or unnecessary for them to do so.
To teach a person how to lead you must first understand what leadership means for that person, this will require gathering information about what type of leader is needed and what the goals are.?
Once you have this information then consider how best to approach teaching them how to lead while still keeping things practical and easy-to-understand given their current position within your organisation or team.

The best leaders are always learning, because whatever you once knew about leadership may be outdated or irrelevant.
You need to be able to learn from your own experiences.
You can't always wait for the right tutor or coach to come along, or rely on someone else's advice completely.?
You need to be able to listen and observe, then use what you've learned in your own way.
You also should learn from others' mistakes. When new leaders make mistakes, they learn from them and avoid making the same errors again later on down the road.
Knowing where others have gone wrong will help you with avoiding similar pitfalls—and it can also help provide some helpful perspective when things don't go according to plan!
Being open-minded is an important part of leadership training too, learning how other people think allows us all kinds of opportunities for growth as individuals as well as leaders.
Leadership can be learned by anyone who is willing to work at it.
It's not just about being the boss, but rather getting things done through other people and helping them achieve their goals.?
Leadership is also about inspiring and motivating others to do great things, which will ultimately help you achieve your own goals.?
This means that leadership skills are a skill that you can learn if you're willing to work at it, rather than something only for certain people or reserved for those with certain backgrounds or situations.
Therefore I conclude that leadership IS a skill that can be learned by anyone.?
It's not only about business, but also about improving our world.?
The most important thing to remember is that leadership is a process of continuous learning.
