Be the CEO of Your Career
Are leaders born or are they made? Behavioral Science maintains that people can become leaders through the process of coaching and mentoring. Leadership is a set of skills that can be taught and nurtured over time. The American military and NASA believe that people can be trained and coached to perform to their fullest potential.
We are born with certain traits and abilities. Regardless of our innate traits and abilities, the majority of us are not performing to our full potential. We can be coached to perform much better.
The late Mr Lee Kuan Yew was intensely interested in the subject of leadership and performance under pressure. He was fascinated by the Apollo 13 astronauts who in 1970 were in serious trouble in outer space. One false move by any one of them and they would be in outer space for eternity. The three astronauts did not panic throughout the high drama and came back to earth safely. Mr Lee was very interested to know how NASA selected the men and trained them. The astronauts are very able people but without the rigorous training they would not have made it back to earth.
