Draw upon your personal experiences and materials from the course resources to discuss and debate the following question: Are leaders born or made?

Some questions or ideas to consider as you reflect upon and discuss your own experiences:

  • What was the trajectory of your performance as a leader?
  • Is leadership something that came naturally to you? Or is leading people and organizations something that really stretches you?
  • From your first experience as a leader until now, has your approach to leadership changed? If so, how? If not, why not?

Whatever position you land upon for the prompt question, provide some discussion of the counterpoint, along with information to support it.
