Abstract
People can be taught certain managerial technologies, but not the fundamental human traits that convert the employment of those technologies into organizational results. An adult’s leadership capacity is virtually fixed by the time he or she arrives at the corporate doorstep. Simply put, people do not change much once they enter the corporate world and the changes that do occur are mainly due to a consolidation of inherent strengths.
