Stewart Wiggins agreed that it is both and believes it builds on itself. You have to learn the science of leadership in order to make it into an art.
I think about it kinda like sports. Most people can go for a jog. Very few can be worldclass runners. The difference certainly includes hard work. And there has to be some innate ability to be really great. Could the same be true of leadership?
Do you think leadership is art (innate or talent) or is it science (learnable and teachable)?
