Summary

The act of being a leader itself helps in developing the skills and abilities required to become an effective leader. By taking on the role of a leader and facing various challenges, individuals can learn and grow, gaining first-hand experience and honing their leadership capacity. Leadership is not only about possessing innate qualities but also about continuously learning and developing talents through practical application. Through the practice of leadership, both personal and professional growth are possible, as leaders push their own limits and refine their abilities to navigate and inspire others in complex situations.
