A skill set called leadership

Some of us believe that one is   born a leader while others argue that leadership is a skill that can be learned in time through experience. Taking it to another level, is the belief that people born under a certain star sign are believed to posses leadership skills i.e. Leos or individuals born predominately in the month August. My take on these arguments is for one, we are all born with a destiny that much is true.

A part of us reminds us that we were created for better, for greatness and success despite our circumstances. We are leaders of our own destiny. Then comes being a leader through experience, our family situations and background play a role and molding us to accumulate leadership skills or not. At times one will finds that certain individuals were ‘forced’ into responsibility and leadership at an early age i.e. through family structures or experiences, through being the ‘popular girl/boy at school, social status  etc…..

Our childhood plays a crucial role in building us into who were desire to be in future. Then there is the horoscope/ star sign debate. While there are traits that can be traced to people born at a certain time or under a certain sign, at the end of the day we can never judge an individual in accordance to their astrological sign. And as much as I have an interest in astrology, I try not to do this myself.

To conclude: Leadership is a skill that can be learnt just like any other, one just needs to have self belief, control and most importantly a true leader is a responsible leader. We all have it within us.
