MAIN BODY
“True leaders are born” Critically evaluate this theory using the trait and nature and
nurture argument.
Many people believe that leadership is an inborn quality, but it is not true. It is individual own
inner strength or capability who made him a great leader. You never born with those qualities by
which you can guide or help someone, but these will grow with the passage of time. Any person
who has good imagination and goals which he wanted to achieve in his life by setting good
examples for the other people can become a good leader. To become a good leader a person,
have that urge of offering help to the people and give motivation to them for achieving their
desired goal. These attributes of leader not born with the birth of a person. Trait theory of
personality states that every person on this planet have different quality which separates them
from which other and represent their personality (Chell, Hedberg-Jalonen, and Miettinen, 2019).
This theory is very significant if you want to know about the kind of leader a person is
actually, by this theory you will get to know about quality of an individual by looking towards
his way of behaving with people and how helpful he is towards them. The nature vs Nurture
argument is one of the greatest area in the study of human behaviour on which controversy can
be highlighted. The term nature states that the genetics determines the behaviour and the nature
of the individual or a group of people. The various personality traits and the abilities to perform
and to function is also effected by the nature of the person. The behaviour is determined by the
inherited value, characteristics and other genetically structure. Whereas, the term Nurture is
defined as the upbringing in our environment and various other life experiences that determines
the behaviour and patterns of an individual that show they are nurtured to behave in a certain
way. These arguments re quite different from each other as different individuals have different
perspectives towards the things and other structures based on this debate. These topics can be
linked to the leaders in many ways, as the leaders are also the people who are encouraged and
motivated in such a way so that their present skills and other qualities are modified so as to be
the stand out among the rest of the other people. They are not charismatic by nature and many
leaders acquire traits that help them exceed later in life (de Vries, and Engellau, 2018).
