Writing Task 2/Economic Success

IELTS Academic Writing Task 2 - Leadership Skills

 

Some people believe that individuals are born with leadership skills. Others say that these skills can be developed with experience. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

 

People have a debate about leadership skills whether the skills are something that one inherits from their parents or learned at school or at the workplace. Some people are born with strong leadership skills, while others are not due to lack of confidence or introverted personality. Leadership skills can be developed through experience like any other skills.

 

Some people think that leadership is only necessary for a politician or high position workers at corporations. However, everyone needs leadership at some point to develop a successful personal or professional life. The majority of people believe that leadership is a personality trait. This trait can be only given to those who are extroverted and confident since the beginning of their life.

 

Other people believe leadership can be developed through educational programs or experience. In fact, society has many introverted leaders with great leadership skills. Many successful leaders actually find it stressful to stand in front of a large number of people and to manage other individuals. However, they can conduct their job well because they have learned how to manage and lead people at school or work places.

 

Nowadays, there are many educational programs offered by companies and schools to develop their leadership abilities. People can learn what they need to improve themselves by practicing these skills. For example, these programs may offer opportunities to practice leading small projects or speaking in front of an audience so that people can become accustomed to these kinds of situations.

 

In conclusion, leadership is a skill that one can grow over time. Some individuals have excellent leadership skills effortlessly. Many individuals may feel that it is impossible for them to achieve such leadership skills. However, one’s leadership skills can be as great as someone who was born with it, as long as one makes consistent efforts. (301 words)
