Christian Leaders are Always Made
Leaders are actually made and at the same time some are sort of born.
Leadership can be learned by anyone with the basic doctrine of Christ as we familiarize ourselves with the word of God and take after the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
You need to study to show thyself as a Leader (2Tim.2 vs. 15) and the more you chew the word of God everyday, the more knowledge of becoming a Christian leader you get.

They learn from watching other leaders and emulating their behavior. They choose role models and seek out mentors. They ask other leaders about how to handle situations.
Leaders improve by getting feedback and using it. The best
