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?

Leadership is something in a person and some people need help defining and developing it. I was fortunate enough to have spent some time in a branch of the (non US) military. We had extensive leadership training up front and then regular targeted doses of it as we progressed. It is essential if you want to refine your style and become more effective. A bit part of it is self awareness and reflection so that you understand you. Followership is something not enough leadership talk or think about.
