How do I become a leader? I want to grow in my job and take higher level positions, but I'm afraid to make

decisions for others or give them direction. I don't think people listen to me very well. Can a person become a leader? Are they made and not born, or born not made? Has anyone successfully done this? Is there a class, book, video or something to get?

Answer:
There are both born and made leaders. If you don't have leadership qualities at present, it is possible to gain them through experience. Find someone that you think is a great leader, and learn from example. You may even want to ask them to give you some advice on what makes a great leader. The main thing to remember is that leaders will make mistakes, and you should not be afraid to make them. To me, a good leader will always take charge and will take responsibility for his/her group, no matter what the outcome.
Take courage, think things through, and do what feels best.
You might make a good "political" type leader. One British Prime Minister said "I am their leader so I must follow them".

In otherwords be a good listener & learn what ideas are popular. Go with your stengths not you weaknesses.
leaders are born as leaders
by themselves
anyone cannot be a leader. to lead you must know how to follow. to lead requires patience but you can do anything you put your mind to. to lead is a very stressful job. first learn everything there is to know about your job. make yourself an asset. be to work on time if not early. work overtime as much as possible, and take a leader's appearance.
