Quote about leadership from Elaine Agather:
“The leadership instinct you are born with is the backbone. You develop the funny bone and the wishbone that go with it.”

The nature or nurture debate is quite common in leadership theory. Basically, is a leader born a leader or is leadership something that a leader learns over a lifetime. I personally tend to lean toward the later, but I do acknowledge that certain personality traits are beneficial for effective leadership. Leadership is definitely an art with only certain facets able to be defined in more scientific approaches.

The second quote is entirely just for laughs from a comedian who is known for his “full” mustache.

Quote about leaders from Julius Henry “Groucho” Marx:
“Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men — the other 999 follow women.”
