LEADERSHIP EDGE

Born vs Trained Leader

By Joseph Aragbaiye Published 4 days ago 1 min read

Leadership is a unique blend of innate talent and acquired skills. Born leaders are naturally gifted with leadership qualities, which they hone through self-observation, self-teaching, and experience. On the other hand, trained leaders are mentored and guided by experienced leaders or mentors. While some born leaders may also benefit from mentorship, their innate leadership characteristics set them apart.
The key difference between born and trained leaders lies in their purpose. Born leaders are driven by an inherent sense of purpose, which fuels their passion and vision. Trained leaders, while skilled and knowledgeable, may lack this innate drive.
Ultimately, the purpose of leadership remains the same - to inspire and drive positive change. Whether you're a born leader or a trained one, your goal is to motivate your team to achieve greatness. Effective leadership is about harnessing your unique strengths and skills to make a meaningful impact.

Here's a poem to summarize:


Leaders born, leaders trained,
Unique strengths, same goal in sight.
Innate talent, acquired skill,
Together blend, to make leadership real.

Purpose drives, the born leader's heart,
Inherent vision, a work of art.
Trained leaders, skilled and bright,
May lack the fire, that burns so tight.

But leadership's purpose, remains the same,
Inspire change, and make a difference claim.
Born or trained, leaders unite,
To motivate teams, and make a brighter sight.
