Attributes of a Great Leader. Leadership involves setting a clear vision and the unique ability to influence and mobilize others towards that goal or vision.

A great and effective leader does not happen by accident but by constant development and training of the mind.

Leaders read about other Leaders, they imitate success and read about how it is achieved so they can also apply to their firms, organizations, communities, work place etc.

Yes, it is often said that some people are “Born Leaders”. With the qualities and traits they have, they are still required to hone these qualities and attributes by attending Leadership Development workshops or courses, reading, engaging with known and successful Leaders also.
