Interesting question on whether leadership can be taught or if it is something innate to an individual.
I definitely believe that it can be developed through experience, but that the initial level and a persons maximum are probably controlled by personality.
But being a good leader will always help with any job or golf career.

Have you read the prime leadership which has exact definition for a leader.. I mean the emotionally intelligent leader needs to tap into as good moods, it would appear from the research, transmit more quickly that bad ones.. San Diego Golf Academy

Hi, I wanted to let you know about a couple of relevant audio CDs, Richard Boyatzis’ Resonant Leadership lectures (http://www.morethansound.net/resonant-leadership.php), and Daniel Goleman and Naomi Wolf’s conversation on woman’s brain circuitry and its impact on leadership styles (http://www.morethansound.net/wired-to-connect.php). There should be samples you can listen to on those webpages, thanks…

Yes, under stress people revert back to type. I notice this with staff who revert to draconian methods when behaviour gets worse for whatever reason – they (and I, unless I stop myself, to be honest) lean on how they were taught when *they* were at school!

Great stuff, our school ‘invested’ in this 2 years ago. It is something I always connect with, however, in practice encouraging people to buy into this way of managing is difficult (not impossible) It can be a cultural change for people and although they will keenly discuss it as a theory when problems arise where emotional inteligence would be the answer, people often revert back to their past actions as they are more used to them. However I remain a HUGE advocate of EI.
