Can Leadership be Learnt?
Over the past two decades research has confirmed what many of us always knew to be true — some leaders are born but most learn, develop and hone their capacity to lead over their lifetimes.
Leadership growth is a formation process that everyone can go through — it can be learnt, it can be developed and it can be unleashed.
Based on emerging research on the importance of each individual’s leader identity, leadership itself ultimately is a choice. This choice is not based on positional power or hierarchical level but on choosing to have a positive influence on others.
Leadership growth is about positively harnessing strengths and building each person’s psychological capacity for leading. It is about creating environments where the organisational system itself supports and sustains leadership. It is about deepening individual and collective understanding of what it means to lead and challenging outdated hierarchical leadership norms.
Leadership development without organisational infrastructure and stakeholder drive is bound to fail. Changing the cultural norms of a workplace is hard to do and it takes extended timeframes, deliberate action and a multidisciplinary approach.
Working in collaboration with existing organisational resources to deepen the conversation necessary to enable leadership growth is a key success factor.
