Do you think everyone has the capacity to be a leader?

Is it a trait that can be learned, or is a person born with it?

No. Some people are leaders, others are followers.

I suppose it can be learned to a certain degree, but you gotta have a genetic predisposition for it to be effective. Anyone can be a "leader", but not everyone got what it takes to be a true leader.

If someone is leading by constantly yelling at and intimidating their followers, the followers might follow their lead out of fear, but won't respect the leader. If, on the other hand, the leader treats his / her followers with respect, the followers will respect him / her in return, which is what every true leader should aspire to.
 
Everybody is a leader in some way. Leading takes on many forms:

I'm sorry, I have to disagree with Miss Lady's sentimental piece.

Some people not only cannot lead, they cannot effectively follow, and, when you come down to it, not only are they a burden and a drag on everybody and everything else, some of them actually seem to delight in causing the failure of others.
