8. Some people believe that good leaders are born, whereas others hold the opinion that leadership qualities could be obtained during life. How does one obtain good leadership qualities?Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. It is often stated that some people are “natural-born leaders”. However, many people assume that a good leader may achieve leadership skills due to experience. Personally, I am convinced that a leader means the ability to understand the needs of the public. leadership qualities are achieved throughout one's lifetime. On the one hand, leadership qualities may be triggered when there is a crisis which demands individuals to step forward and take responsibility. These characteristics occur in response to challenges. For example, Mai Medhat of Eventtus.com Egypt, is an extremely successful entrepreneur. She stated in a meeting with US President Obama that her road to success was very difficult. Although she has faced her fair share of ups and downs, Mai stated that a “persistent and strong passion” was responsible for her success. Hence, based on these characteristics, she is seen as a leader in her business field. In addition, leaders are often faced with difficult choices. In order to have their business succeed, they must have life experience, sound decision making skills, and the ability to “act quickly”. Hence, it is at this time their leadership abilities emerge, and are “put into action”. Furthermore, it is believed that a leader should respect others through teamwork and cooperation. It means  they should manage and embrace people from various backgrounds. Moreover, a leader should always treat others equally regardless of their background and social status. Consequently, if a leader can always be fair to others, they will be known as a “just leader”. On the other hand, some people feel leaders are born with certain qualities as per many people’s opinion. In my point of view, I believe that leadership is a quality which is related to someone’s experience, personality, motivation and ambition. It is not unusual that we have so many great leaders in history who stepped forward to help others. Leadership is a quality that can learned with time and experience. In conclusion, I strongly believe leadership skills are possible in any human being. Even though it takes time and effort, with hard-work, patience and motivation, anyone can become a respected leader in their field. 8

10. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
The most important characteristic of a leader are good communication skills.
A leader can be described as a person who has a social influence. While I certainly agree communication skills are the foundation of a respectable leader, I personally believe there are many characteristics that are necessary as well.
On the one hand, having excellent communication abilities in general is critical to success nowadays. For example, modern day entrepreneurs have the responsibility of informing, persuading and motivating others. Communication skills clearly play an important role in leadership. That is why people with such skills avoid language barriers and misunderstandings in discussions, conversations and meetings. Moreover, expressing ideas clearly is important for every leader because this ability can help win support for a proposal. For instance, entrepreneurs around the world require funding for their start-ups. Without being able to "convince" investors, they will be unable to continue with their project. Hence, communication  skills are critical to a successful future and making dreams come true.
On the other hand, I would argue there are many people who are good at communication and even rhetoric, but only some of them are leaders. First of all, one can be a leader if one is optimistic and intelligent. Hence, the foundation of leading others lies in  optimism and perseverance. On the way to their success, leaders will often come across obstacles, and require an optimistic attitude to find ways to overcome such difficulties. As a result, their optimism inspires others, which is where success lies.
In addition, intelligence is also important for leaders. Without intelligence, leaders could not find the keys to solve complicated problems. To illustrate, in order to speed up economic growth, it is not enough for the eloquent President Obama to deliver good speeches. It also requires President Obama's intelligence to tackle the fiscal cliff issue and other methods to reduce unemployment.
In conclusion, it seems there are some characteristics that are equally important as communication skills in order to become a leader. Overall, whether in business or entrepreneurship, experience has proven it is difficult for a person to become a leader without optimism and intelligence as well. 10
