Leadership isn't a genetic lottery or an exclusive club for the naturally gifted. This groundbreaking revelation forms the heart of "Learning Leadership" by James Kouzes and Barry Posner. Their research across diverse organizations, cultures, and demographics confirms what many secretly hope: leadership potential exists within everyone. The persistent question "Are leaders born or made?" has finally been answered with compelling evidence - leadership is a learnable set of skills available to anyone committed to growth. Five powerful myths have kept many from embracing their leadership potential: the talent myth (leadership as innate ability), the position myth (leadership as formal authority), the strengths myth (focus only on natural abilities), the self-reliance myth (leaders succeed alone), and the it-comes-naturally myth (overlooking deliberate practice). The impact of dispelling these myths is profound. When leaders believe improvement is possible, organizations thrive. The best leaders bring out 95% of people's talents, while the worst elicit only 31% - a threefold difference that affects everything from engagement to productivity.
