“a LEADER is a dealer in hope” Napoleon Bonaparte

“Leadership is the art of getting

someone else to do

something you want done

because he wants to do it”

Dwight Eisenhower

The “Great Man” Theory Leaders are BORN not made. - Leadership ability rises from inborn, internal traits

- Some have them……Some do NOT

No amount of training will make a leader out of someone who does not possess these traits.

Summary of over 3,000 books and

articles on leadership covering specific

traits for the Great Man were not

found,

However there does exist some

general common behaviors among effective leaders.

become a leader, success is all about growing OTHERS
