A skill set called Leadership.

Some people say that great leaders are born to be leaders and that a person cannot be taught to be a great leader. On the contrary I believe that great leaders learn to be good leaders; it is in fact a skill that one can acquire over time. Great leaders become good at leading people as they spend time with the people they lead, learning about them, speaking to them about their concerns and being the face behind their voices.

Good leaders are usually charismatic people that are able to use words well to communicate with their followers; they usually have the ability to allure followers as well as build strong relationships with them.

Not everyone has the ability to be a leader, some people are simply meant to be followers. A leader needs to take initiative and be able to take carefully calculated risks and some people do not have the ability to do this; so they role is rather to be followers.

Over the years we have had some great leaders. People I would say were great leaders were people such as Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Mother Teresa; these people were able to show initiative and set a good example to other people. Many aspire to be the kind of leaders they were.
