Leadership skills are difficult to teach, but sometimes it is seen that if a person has some good basic skills he/she does learn the tricks of trade faster.
Apart from that leaders are born as leaders and no one can be taught to be a leader. Saving Changes...

Leadership is not about knowing is about doing. If you want to be a true leader you must be committed to something bigger than oneself, be the cause in the matter, honor your word, and be and act consistent with who you hold yourself out to be for others and who you hold
yourself to be for yourself. Saving Changes...

I have the believe that we are all born, predisposed with certain traits. Included in those traits are our base desires - what do we desire to be? or to do? If those natural traits are aligned with the person's desires, that person becomes exceptional.

Meade, I agree we are born with some traits and the way we develop those traits is what makes us exceptional.
But in leadership I cite Werner Erhard and Michael Jensen HBS on their paper "
Being A Leader And The Effective Exercise Of Leadership: An Ontological / Phenomenological Model": "All true leaders are made, not born. Even those born to leadership fail to be leaders if they do not develop themselves as leaders, that is, if they do not master the being of being a leader and the effective exercise of leadership."

Leadership is a skill which can be improved by coaching / learning as well but most successful leaders are born like Sergio mentioned those are God gifted, they have a special quality and charismatic personality undefeated, look at it like leaning to sing you can study all the musical ladder, note & half note but if you don't born with a voice you can not perform like those who have amazing vocal quality so it is an art & science.

I believe everyone is born with the ability to be a leader and that leadership skills can be learned/honed but many will never find themselves in a situation that allows them to step up and be a leader. So is a leader born or made? Both. It's recognizing that situation where your leadership can shine and having the moxy to step up is often the problem. Saving Changes...
