This article by Sacha Tarkovsky explores this question :
Are you born with good leadership skills or do you develop them? If you have good leadership skills people willingly follow not only your direction, but your example. Is the ability to ‘walk the talk’ born or made?
Leadership - How to Become a Real Leader. Are leaders only born, or can you become a real leader? History answers this question. You can become a leader, and even of a country. It’s up to you. Here are the basics of how to become a real leader.
Check Yourself. Who are You?
To become a real leader, people would have to follow you. Why should they? Have you anywhere to lead them? Whether it be in your family, your work, an organization, wherever, you must check yourself to see “why would people wish to follow my leadership?”
This means, are you the role model or example people can relate to? No? If not, you must become so. Talking about what you can do, who you are, and so on will not make you a leader.

Often the titles of manager and leader are used interchangeably. Are they the same? This article defines some differences between management and leadership.
Although some people treat the terms management and leadership as synonyms, the two should be distinguished. As a matter of fact, there can be leaders of completely unorganized groups. On the other hand, there can be managers, as conceived here, only where organized structures create roles.

Collaboration: An Important Leadership Development Skill
Even with the best and most skilled managers, organizations must be able to tap into the varied skills and wider perspectives of other employees. So it is essential that leaders know how to collaborate and develop effective partnerships with others. It is one of the elements that makes a manager a true leader. Collaboration is the vehicle for sharing responsibility and combining knowledge, creativity, and experience of others. Through extensive research and observation, CMOE has found that the ability to collaborate is essential in an organization’s Leadership Development or Transitioning into Leadership training program.
Establishing collaborative relationships is not always natural or easy, particularly because people have different lifestyles, backgrounds, and experiences. Effective leaders know how to collaborate when it isn’t easy. The benefits of doing so can be significant. Leaders who believe in the power of collaboration can produce extraordinary results, while maintaining a healthy team environment. Fundamentally, collaboration starts with the leader because they must be willing to let go of some control. However, time demands and urgency can be a major stumbling block in opening up collaborative channels. Andrew Carnegie said: “No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.”
One of the most important things a leader needs to be able to do to collaborate with his/her team members is create a culture where members value and listen to alternative views and seek out win-win objectives. This can be accomplished by clearly identifying common needs and objectives; and certainly should occur on multiple occasions over time.
A leader can also foster collaboration by encouraging active involvement and the free exchange of information. The leader, also, must set the tone by keeping an open mind to different ideas. Furthermore, when the team members engage in collaborative activities, it is essential for the leader to validate and reinforce the collaboration in order to sustain the behavior.
In CMOE’s Leadership Development books, programs, and workshops, we delve into the specific skills of collaboration and other important aspects of leadership. Leadership development topics such as this will expand collaboration in organizations and will be reflected in the organization’s results and the commitment of its people.

A Breakthrough Audiobook in the Bestselling Tradition of the One Minute Manager.
How can you become a more successful manager, a stronger team leader, and a motivator who gets the best results from a group? The Leadership Pill provides the answer. An entertaining and inspiring parable about the competition between two leaders with totally different management styles, here is a story that reveals the ingredients of truly effective leadership.
Consider this tantalizing possibility: What if there was a pill that could actually stimulate the natural powers of the mind and body to provide leadership? In the story, an amazing new pill heightens one leader’s powers, but contains the wrong ingredients, stimulating him in an obsessive and shortsighted direction with disastrous results.
In contrast, the “Effective Leader,” working without a pill, proclaims that “only through sustainability can our teams remain motivated and successful.” An inspiring and supportive leader, he supplies the right ingredients, earning his team’s respect and trust with a blend of integrity, partnership, and affirmation. The hard-won result is a highly motivated team producing consistent top performance and genuine success. Ultimately it is recognized that “leadership for a lifetime” is much easier to digest than a pill for leaders looking for a quick fix.
Destined to be a transforming experience for countless listeners, The Leadership Pill shows business managers at any level how to apply the right techniques for getting both results and and the commitment of their people, even when the pressure to perform is high.
