"Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned"

- Harold S. Geneen

About this Quote

This quote by Harold S. Geneen suggests that leadership is not something that can be taught in a class setting. It is something that needs to be found out through experience. Management is a skill that is developed gradually, and it requires a person to have particular qualities such as self-confidence, communication, and analytical abilities. It likewise needs an individual to be able to encourage and influence others. Management is not something that can be taught in a book or lecture, however rather it is something that must be discovered through practice and experience. It is an ability that is developed through experimentation, and it requires an individual to be able to believe on their feet and make decisions rapidly. Management is not something that can be taught, but rather it is something that must be learned.
