Is it right to believe that opportunities are everywhere? My guess would be "Yes".
I would not be lying if I said that anybody can find the perfect opportunity, should they seek it. The difficult phase is determining whether a person possesses the talents needed for that "perfect" opportunity. Understanding what is asked of us is simple enough. The question is: do we have it?
Yes, it is impossible to possess every skill in the world. There is no way to be qualified for every single job available on Earth. I know that, and that is not my purpose here. However, there must be a quality that somehow every task, be it professionally or personally, seeks. There surely must be attributes that need to be found in every person who wishes to be successful. And true enough, there are a lot of them. In order to be great, you have to be wise. You also have to have common sense. It would also be great if you were humane. There are so many that enumerating them all would fill up the space, so I have decided to focus on a quality that might seem so obvious but is so hard to attain: Leadership.
There is no arguing that each attribute is as important as all the others, but it would also be safe to say that leadership could possibly be the hardest to achieve. Even upon grasping the idea of leadership, there is no guarantee to sufficient understanding of it. It is not my intention to deride other traits, but the amount of sacrifice required by leadership is definitely great. There is a saying that leaders are born, and I just might have to disagree with that.
Leaders evolve through experience. They endure different circumstances that form the way they think. They confront challenges that set in stone their virtues. For some, the idea of undergoing a leadership development course is a worthwhile investment. Prospective leaders accept the demands that come with being a leader that they consider leadership development as a requirement. Executives with years of experience even attend Executive Leadership Development Programs to further their skills.
True, potential leaders are all around the globe. Forgetting proper leadership skill development, however, is basically a sure-fire way of crushing potential. However you may want to look at it, leadership is not an overnight development. - 31963
