OUR WORLD IS FULL OF SO CALLED LEADERS. SOME FIND OUT THAT ONCE THEY ARE IN THAT POSITION THAT THEY ARE ONLY FOLLOWS., AND SHOULD REMAIN THAT WAY. WE HAVE A LOT OF POLITITIONS THAT PROVE THAT

I think in my effort to be concise I left out some important things. I try to never deal in absolutes, everyone knows from test taking, always and never are always false. And your right, leadership can be learned. I do feel however, traits that are common to leaders can be inherited from their parents. I think this is evident in famous sport families - Paytons, Griffeys, etc... Something in there genes drive them to be leaders.
I also believe, if someone learned how to be a leader, it was already inside them, it just need to be brought out! Although it would be nice to have it printed on the birth certificates! Make things easier! :)

Brandon...pretty much right on but for the comment about leaders are born. I am not at all sure about this one. I have never noticed a birth announcement say, Bill and Nancy welcomed a born leader today who weighed in at five pounds.
It can be learned, imho.
