Leaders Should Acquire Skills and Knowledge

Leaders are made or born? This is not an issue. The true leader ignores such arguments and instead concentrates on developing the leadership qualities necessary for success. Either made or born, if they are able to increase their skills in displaying these five quality characteristics, they will make it easier for people to follow them.

The less time leaders have to spend on getting others to follow them, the more time they have to spend refining exactly where they want to go and how to get there. The five leadership traits are namely,

· Honest and Truthful

· Forward and Visionary Thinking

· Competent and Trustworthy

· Inspiring and Energizing

· Intelligent and Adaptable
