Deep dives

Leadership as a Natural Intrinsic Quality

Leadership is not something that needs to be developed or learned; it is an innate quality that everyone has. Just like how everyone is born with eyes, everyone is born with leadership. It is not something that can be bought or acquired through training. Leadership is already a part of who you are. It is important to understand your natural tendencies and strengths as a leader, whether you lean towards being a builder or a runner.
