Many people wonder if leaders are born or made. Those that believe that leaders are born state that you can find leadership traits at a young age, by observing their relationships with other children. An example of this would be a child that the others gravitate to or the one that has the most friends. Although, this is true I believe that leadership can be develop. I believe this because as humans I do not think that anyone is perfect. Some people are smart in school; others seem to be cleverer outside of school (street wise) while, there are those that prefer engaging in creative activities such as arts and crafts etc.

I also know by experience that we have the ability to change who we are. Do not get me wrong this is not about changing your entire personality. It is more about being able to recognize your faults and flaws in order to start working on becoming a better person. An example of this would be having low self esteem. Leaders need to be confident in order to be able to take new risks and walk thru unknown territory.

Take a good look at yourself but most importantly be honest. Dare to see and admit your flaws. Not so that you can dwell on them. It is so that you can work on becoming a better or successful person. Only then, you will break barriers standing in the way of your success and ultimately become a leader in your own special way.

Best wishes,
