Contrary to popular belief, great leaders are made, not born. Within each of us beats the heart of a leader, we just need the right environment and support for it to emerge. Why develop your leadership capabilities? Because the world you live in today and especially the one you will inhabit tomorrow, will require you to assume a leadership role regardless of official titles or positions. Think of it like this...a leader is someone who works effectively with others to make change for the common good...on campus, in the workplace, in the community, and in the world.
