Introduction

Leadership is referred to as a leader and leadership activities. Leaders are influential organization staff who they can be an organization with a legitimate position, for various management activities have executive discretion and it may be some no authority to determine the position. Leadership Activities are the leader use power or authority over the members of the organization to guide or influence to make the members of the organization consciously with the leader to achieve organizational goals in the process. Leadership is the basic functions of management, which runs through the whole process of management activities. For this assignment, my title is “leaders are born nor made”. For my opinion, I small disagree leaders

think that leaders not is born, it is made because we needed the leaders come from different backgrounds and life experiences. If the people have not any military experience contribute, he has not born in an influential family, he has not gone to suitable schools or has not something opportunism, for example, you married your boss’s daughter or have luck in the right place in the right time, then it make him cannot do the leader. Also, people can be guidance, training and skills development to become leader. Some people think it is not everybody can do the leaders, it is biases. However, this ignores the fact that the leadership you can find everywhere in society, in the economic and social status of the multi-level, individual really a different sampling. When drought leading experts condemn legitimate, the fact is that leadership qualities can be found and cultured, everyone has leadership potential. (Foote, 2001)

This definition stresses the fact that a leader influences more than one person toward a goal. Proctor (2004), stated that some leaders are bom and others are made. The bom leaders innately have many o f the necessary characteristics to be a leader and somewhere along the way developed the desire to be leaders. According to this, without the willingness to lead, ability counts for very little. Leaders that are made, according to Proctor, may have some skills but need to develop others through perseverance, practice and consistent application. For these types of aspiring leaders it takes effort and time. Proctor feels that most of us have the ability to develop leadership skills; fewer o f us have the desire, therefore the key is willingness
