Designed to kill, are some but not all, is what we observe in animal kingdom -- and I'm sure, we too are animals in one way or the other.

So can we apply the same principle to one of the most controversial issues that has been haunting us for a long time: Are leaders born or made?

If you've worked with large corporates for few years mingling with a wide range of profiles or you're into a profession that demands meeting tens of senior level employees from corporate, I'm sure, it won't take more than a few minutes of genuine analysis to come to the conclusion: Leadership is not everybody's cup of tea -- and there's nothing wrong with that, because mother nature is committed to maintaining a perfect balance between the leaders and the followers -- in terms of numbers.

However, with opinions divided, distinctly, a solid confusion prevails over a simple - in my opinion - and logical - you've every right to differ - conclusion: Not all are designed to be leaders.

I strongly believe: A huge structure can be erected only when the foundation is strong enough to hold it in place; similarly, leadership skills can be taught through intensive training only with supporting chromosomes, otherwise not.

Well, my personal opinion that I've expressed here is unfortunately not substantiated with the help of a best-selling book or a precision survey findings, but trust me, it's based on something more realistic: A close interaction with thousands of senior level professionals spanning over a decade and half.
