01 Are Leaders born or made?
Leadership is all about influencing, serving, and motivating others to achieve a common goal. Put in even simpler terms, the leader is the inspiration and director of the action. He or she is the point person in the organization with a combination of personality and skills which will propel others to follow.

Some people believe that leaders are born with the set of skills to become successful leaders while others conclude that leadership can be learned. We believe, however, that every individual has their own area of talent and inclination for success. These attributes, the things that individuals are passionate about, are the reasons why every person can be a leader in their own area of interest and expertise.

03 When is the right time to become a leader?
​

04 What is the difference between a leader and a manager?
​
A manager is a person controlling or administering a business, while a leader is a person who causes others to go with him, by guiding and showing the way. According to John Sculley, "Leadership is often confused with other things, specifically management. As I see it, leadership revolves around vision, ideas, and direction, and has more to do with inspiring people as to direction and goals than with day-to-day implementation. One can't lead unless one can leverage more than his own capabilities . You have to be capable of inspiring other people to do things without actually sitting on top of them with a checklist - that's management, not leadership."
"The leader cuts a new path while the manager prunes it and makes it passable" - Leroy Hutchinson
