I interviewed a Duke doctor last week (Dr. Kim). One thing he said really caught my attention. He said that leaders are naturual people shouldnt try to be leaders. The best leaders are ones that naturally lead and arent trying to. I can tootally see this idea fitting into my final presentation. Before I began my IS this idea was interesting to me because I thought their was some truth to it. This idea totally embodies authentic. The answer to why some people are natural leaders Im still working, but I think my interview question, “What are some elements of your most authentic self (Qualties you have)? ” Is helping me figure this out, because Im seeing similarity in some answers between different leaders.

Chase, I wonder if Dr. Kim means some people are more natural leaders than others. Are there conditions that turn those who aren’t “naturals” into good leaders? Are there examples of people who’ve become good leaders by applying effort, and if so, how have they done it?
So many intriguing dimensions to this topic!
