I would like to kindly highlight some facts, which prove that, Management Schools do, inculcate Leadership Skills.
TO start with, I am a Student of Welingkar Institute of Management Development, Mumbai, and I have really seen the various attempts by my college, to imbibe the spirit of Leadership, among its students. Infact, we have a subject, which treads on the aspect of LEadership through Literature and also, there is a special curriculam, which is dedicated to HIGH PERFORMANCE LEADERSHIP....
All these, try to identify the traits, which the students have, that can make them into better efficient leaders tomorrow.
The institute itself has demonstrated its Leadership skills by being a pioneer in many things, including the launch of many courses, which have been designed understanding the changing dynamics of the industry.
And the institute strongly believes that, Leadership can play a pivotal role in overall development of the Educational System.

Hi,
It is true that many B.Schools 'teach' leadership and what are the stles. But no teacher can teach us what are effective traits since no leadership style or trait is bad or good.
We need to adopt or change from time to time based on the necessity.

Well leadership is definitely an inborn quality, neither it can be inculcated nor imbibed.Great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi were never taught, they were born leaders, also same goes for Dhirubhai Ambani and Narayan Murthy.
