I mostly agree with the concepts mentioned in the article but on a high-level, I do not. I truly believe some people are born to lead while others are not (even though everyone certainly has the potential to be).

For ex. at my work place, there is a PM which I truly believe is a pure leader. Every single person on the PM's team (engineer, designer, marketing, and other PMs) likes working with the PM. It's uncanny and I have a hard time figuring out why. I suspect it's natural charisma and the way the PM leads without ordering. To counter that, another PM recently joined the company and this new PM is the exact opposite. The new PM's interactions are like orders or commands. To me, this new PM (however educated the PM is...), has already lost my trust after a month. Does anyone else have similar experiences?
