I believe there are three types of leaders. Those that are born to lead, those that develop leadership skills, and those that are born leaders, but are reluctant to lead.
Most of us fall into one of these categories. The largest group are those that develop leadership skills. SFI is a great resource for this. Between Launchpad, the articles, ASK SC and the forum, you have many sources to help you.
The most important aspect of leadership is to lead by example. It is hard to ask others to do that which we are not willing to do. This is also the first part of duplication. First YOU do it, then you teach them how to do it. If you do, then you are leading without really realizing that you are.
The second most imprtant aspect of leadership is mentoring. getting on the forums, answering questions in ASK SC, and personally helping your downline are the key elements of mentoring in SFI. In order to effectively mentor others, we must know what to do ourselves. This requires learning and putting these concepts into action in a kind of hands on learning environment. This leads you back to aspect number one.
So, learn, lead by example, and mentor. If you do these three things you will be a great leader and it won't matter whether you were born to it or not.
Hope this helps.
