There is an ongoing debate about whether leaders become professionals through hard-working and high productivity or it is an innate talent. While some critics argue, that to be an effective leader people need to have a natural charisma and strong personality, I believe that this way requires a lot of effort and inner strength.
One of the main indicator of a decent leader is his willingness to make people follow his ideas through trust and belief. Leadership particularly requires not only a background knowledge, but also strategic thinking and deeper understanding of the system. By showing professionalism and staying focused during the process they lead people achieve a common goal. For instance, many public events need a careful organization due to frequent unforeseen circumstances that cannot be tackled without professional manager. The possibility to manage issues comes from a profound knowledge and extensive experience.
On the other hand, there is a fierce debate among innate talent of leaders, especially related to their charisma and extrovert personality. The ability to speak and communicate with a wide range of people without shyness and strictness. People often tend to trust and follow the leader who treats them as equals and can talk freely and friendly. The elections of Donald Trump in 2025 showed that despite unrealistic statements and vague plan of action he won a majority through his vivid personality and active promotion among young voters. Consequently, to become a successful leader people need not only a strong background, but also the ability to act in the group and make people follow common ideas.
To conclude, whereas some critics think, that it is enough to have an active personality to become a leader, this essay believes that it is a difficult and long path. They lead people be confident in the process and show their knowledge in achieving common goals.
