Charting the Course of Teaching and Learning in a Networked World

Are Leaders MADE or BORN? Which are you?

This may be a long-time debate - are real leaders made or are they born? Can an individual be molded into a leader over time and through experience, or does a leader come from their genetic makeup from birth?

I've documented at least 6 theories from history available from the link below, and would love to get your thoughts and feedback! Let us know what category YOU would put yourself into.

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
