Happenstance won’t make it happen

Leadership is 85 percent a lifelong learning process; 8 percent inherent trait; 6 percent strategic training; and 2 percent accidental.Leadership is a constant pursuit. So say visitors to Kiwanis International’s Web site, kiwanis.org.

In a recent online poll, 85 percent of respondents completed the sentence “Leadership is,” with their favorite description: “a lifelong learning process.”

Other results:

  • An inherent trait, 8 percent

  • The result of strategic training, 6 percent

But only 2 percent of respondents say leadership is “accidental.”

Beginning February 1, the kiwanis.org Web poll asks: “In its pursuit of excellence, what is the biggest challenge facing your club?”

What’s your answer?
