This document discusses whether leaders are born or made. It presents arguments that some leaders are born with inherent qualities while others develop their skills over time through experience and training.

Researchers conclude that both nature and nurture play a role, as leaders tend to have inherent traits but all improve their skills significantly through dedicated practice and experience.
