Can Leadership Be Learned or Are You Born with It?

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Daniel Theiler

People are often promoted to positions of leadership and management in the office without having any official training in either. While some rise to the event and function well in their new positions, others flounder.

The concern is: what can those who do not have natural leadership and management abilities do to prevent failing in their new roles or to recover if they're already struggling?

Choice makers typically presume that an individual who shows competency and performs well in their task likewise is likely to have leadership and management capacity. Nevertheless, management and leadership need skillsets that are qualitatively really different to the tasks one carries out in more material driven positions.

As an outcome, lots of brand-new leaders and managers discover themselves in roles for which they are totally unprepared. If they think, as many individuals do, that leadership is a quality one is born with and fear, as numerous brand-new supervisors do, that they were not, they are likely to feel both unpleasant and frightened by the expectations thrust upon them.

In a lot of cases, they choose to handle these issues by focusing on the substance of their role and minimizing or avoiding the human and managerial aspects completely. It is exactly those dimentions of their brand-new functions that form the heart and structure of great leadership.

Others never ponder their managerial design or leaders philosophies at all. They simply rake ahead and do things as they please, often while being totally blind to their effect on the very people they are expected to motivate.

The good news is leadership skills can be improved if one wants to be self-reflective and make efforts to do so. Certainly, research studies show leadership tends to be just 30 percent hereditary. Therefore, all newly minted managers would be a good idea to consider it needed to sharpen and hone their leadership abilities.

Certainly, a current study from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign demonstrated that a fifteen week academic course was able to significantly improve the leadership skills of the participants by using the 'Ready, Willing and Able' model (which analyzes whether trainees are ready to lead, inspired to lead, and effective in their efforts).

The study determined the most crucial factor for effective students as being their 'Willingness'-- how inspired they were to lead in the very first place (or for new supervisors, how motivated they are to obtain and develop their own leadership abilities).

It is when brand-new managers are not quite 'Ready and Willing' that they are most likely to stick their heads in the sand and either disregard their role as leaders or presume a 'stock' leadership position such as being authoritarian.

Instead, brand-new supervisors-- specifically those who feel hesitant about leading-- need to acknowledge (to themselves) that they feel unprepared (or unequipped) to presume a leadership role and equate these concerns and concerns into motivation to improve their skillset.

The very best location to begin their journey is by carrying out a self-assessment of their strengths and weak points.

3 Questions Every New Leader Should Ask Themselves

All leaders but specifically new ones must ask themselves three standard concerns:

1. What qualities do good leaders possess?

2. Do I have these qualities?

3. How can I obtain or enhance the leadership qualities I lack?

The University of Illinois study specified leadership as "An individual affecting a group of individuals toward a common goal". With that meaning in mind, new leaders were encouraged to concentrate on their interactions, relationships, and communication, such that their impact really moved their teams towards the common objective.

It is likewise essential for new leaders to frame their brand-new roles as a journey of essential corrections and adjustments in their interactions and even in their self-identity that happen as they hone their leadership abilities and move towards higher proficiency.

Self-monitoring and self-assessment are vital in these preliminary phases of leadership development and supervisors have to be honest with themselves about their successes and failures, and view through the prism of 'influencing people toward a typical goal'.

The bottom line is that promotions to positions of leadership, while popular initially, can quickly cause failure if one does not make the effort to examine their strengths and weak points as a leader, and show willingness to alter their approach and boost their knowledge and skillset when essential.
