Question:
3. According to Nigel Nicolson, leaders come to power through both internal and external selection.
He writes:
The internal is self-selection, the force that induces some to seek and others to avoid leadership. Even when one is handed a leadership position on a plate, one’s inner self has to acquiesce, especially around three attributes. Are you ready to take on the risks and responsibility
(drive)? Do you believe you have the skills to take on the challenge and succeed (ability)? Can you withstand the demands on your energies
(constitution)? Many people have succumbed to the lure of the rewards or the encouragement of others and have become bad leaders, when they would have done better to heed their inner doubts.68 What attributes allow a person to become a good leader? Do you agree with Nicolson that people should forego leadership roles if they have inner doubts?
