Can leadership be taught? Are you born with it? Blah blah blah!!!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Leadership is subjective like anything else. You may define person A as a good leader but in my experience of person A is that they\u2019re an utter failure. Does running a $100 billion business make you a good leader? Not always because we\u2019ve seen companies like that collapse.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Whether it\u2019s a business leader, a political leader, military leader, or a Boy Scout leader; there are certain characteristics you must have, obviously, but is it black and white\u2026HELL NO!!! So why do we sit around over-analyzing such things? Well, seems to be something humans enjoy doing\u2026talking shit to death!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0My humble, meek, unimportant opinion is that GOOD leaders know what to do and what not to do in the millions of situations that they face. All situations call for something different and all people require a different approach\u2026and being able to figure all those things out is what makes a good leader.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0There is not a definitive, \u201chere\u2019s how you HAVE to be\u201d definition that can contain and describe a good leader. Again, this topic, like almost all in the world, are NOT black and white. So live and let live!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I always see people discussing what it takes to BE a good leader, but that is often followed with debate, over-analysis, and argument about the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","filesize_raw":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5,16,28],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-517","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-business","7":"category-entrepreneurship","8":"category-leadership","9":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
