No idea, but I believe there has to be an innate ability there to train. I wonder if it is linked to leadership ability/training?
The hypothesis would be that people born with the talent for leadership automatically take over situations where a leader is necessary, ie moments of great stress when others are looking for leadership. This does not mean that the leader actually chooses the right course of action.
If the talent is not natural, then organisations such as defence forces, law enforcement (and probably gangs, criminal orgs etc) train that skill into people.
There are still going to be people who naturally take the lead, and people who naturally look for leaders, but training gives the people who follow not only the muscle memory etc to rely on, but also the instant recognition of who to look to (therefore more confidence), and also gives the leaders the skills to know what the right course of action is?
What do you think?
