A masterclass from Malachy O’Rourke

Leaders are neither born nor made; they are found. This is what Ben Horowitz postulated in a recent Fortune.com article.

He suggests if leaders were made, then why is it so hard to teach true leadership? It takes a bit of head-scratching to get round that concept but he may be onto something.

His point in essence is that you must go through adversity in some aspect of your life: sport, social, family, work etc. and emerge having found qualities which force you to become a leader. This should give hope to us all that anyone can become a leader.
