Developing leadership capability: What's inside the black box?
这篇评论探讨了领导力发展的多种影响因素，包括遗传、家庭、学校、工作经历等，认为领导者既是天生的也是后天培养的，组织对早期成长因素影响有限。
The article presents a commentary on an interventionist view of leadership development. The author notes that many factors shape the extent to which an individual becomes a leader. These include genetic predisposition, family environment, school experiences, hardships, job experiences, authority figures, organizational incentives, and training. The author contends that leaders are born and made. He believes the foundations for the leadership qualities of self-confidence, achievement drive, communication skills, and interpersonal competence are formed principally in a person's family environment. He explains that organizations have little or no control over an individual's early life forces.
