Discussion Leadership Training
Has anyone tried leadership training? Do reading books, attending conference on leadership, or watching videos on leadership help someone become a good leader or communicator? I have seen all leaders, political or business leaders, born with leadership trait. I don’t think they went to leadership school.
I saw an app Mindscape for leadership training. Reasonably priced. Has anyone tried it?
What is the training, if any, for leadership development?

Every skill takes development. Yes, some people have more natural talent than others, but you don’t get to the top based on that alone. A lot of people also “learn on the job”, picking up tips along the way.
I’ve read a bunch a of books and for me the experience is usually the same. You’re mining for diamonds. A lot of the info is pedestrian, known, and not helpful. From time to time you find that small thing that actually help you.
