Blurb : Are Leaders Born or Made? By David Grabovac

In this scholarly yet accessible book, David Grabovac brings his extensive experience to bear on the age-old debate about leadership - is it innate or can it be acquired? He provides an up-to-date and all-encompassing spin on what the question entails and outlines what constitutes great leadership in modern times.

Through his advisory work with the Australian government, as well as numerous private corporations, Grabovac has witnessed today’s leaders at first hand, gaining unique insights into what it takes to succeed, as well as what challenges await us in the future. From the contemporary to the historic, Are Leaders Born or Made? takes us through the ages, examining the thoughts of famous figures of the past, from Machiavelli to Eisenhower; Aristotle to Martin Luther.

Are Leaders Born or Made? shatters lingering myths, separating the hard facts from the flimsy assumptions with the aid of science, statistics and in-depth analysis of past scholarship on the subject. Grabovac argues that while leaders are both born and made, it is only through intelligence, adaption and hard work, as well as continual training and education, that leaders can achieve true greatness in their chosen field.

Are Leaders Born or Made? is essential reading, whatever the industry, and is acutely relevant in today’s economic climate - one in which emphasis on strong and inspirational leadership is of vital importance if we are to continue to compete in a global context.
