Leadership and Change Management (lcm)

‘Leaders are born, not made'. Discuss the statement with reference to leadership framework currently in us in organisations.

Introduction:

The establishment of relationship between followers and leaders that focus on real changes and outcomes that reflects through shared purposes is basically leadership. Leadership also involves in creating change not only in maintaining status quote. Another leadership important feature is to bring people and make them understanding to come together around a common vision and to bring change about desired future. In many aspects, the importance of leadership is vital without it families, communities and as well as organisations would go down apart.
