Think about this . . .
It is inconceivable to presume a person can function as an astrophysicist or surgeon without formal training and experience. Yet, we place a person in a position of leadership without providing him or her with any formal or informal leadership training.
Studies show that individuals trained in leadership theory and style better leaders and are also more conscious about developing leaders and followers under them. Furthermore, trained leaders have an increased sensitivity toward followers and recognize that leadership style will directly affect followers’ rate of development.
