Leadership: Born or Made

One of the great debates in leadership is the argument about whether leaders are born or made.  For the U.S. Military, there is no argument at all.  They are made.  It starts with values engineering (VE) and trust building.  For the  most part, the Military starts this process at age 18.  Elsewhere in our society, organized efforts at  VE are found in Scouting, team sports and religious training.  Good friend and former AF officer, Andy Bochman reflects on another venue for leader development and I wanted to share it with you.  Please read this post on the second and third order effects of summer camp.
