Overview
Leadership is a skill and therefore can be learned or acquired. This dispels the myth that people are either born leaders or not. Leadership requires tremendous effort. As discovered through this session, leadership also has tremendous rewards. Although leaders may emerge as a by-product of the group processes, this is neither an economical nor an effective way to developing leadership.
