Hi Gabriela!

We are all born the same, nobody are born as Team Leader.
To be a Team Leader on your life's journey you need to created yourself.
It is your choice.
Life give us a choice what we will become.
Only geniuses are born as geniuses, like Mozart.

All other people have to work and learn hard and achieve their goals.If you like something and you wish something it is not hard.You will work and learn with joy.
Talented people also need to learn

To answer your question, you need to ask why you consider yourself not born to be a leader. There might be many reasons, such as fear, lack of confidence and so on. It’s only you who can find out and change the view of yourself to become a leader.

First you need to know the qualities and skills of a leader:

- As a leader, you provide direction of your downlines towards vision, goals and objectives or the end result.

- Effectively listens and clearly communicates

Hi Gabriela,

Good question you have here. But I will like to agree with the saying that "leaders are not born but made". SFI is making leaders because of her well structured program which is designed for that purpose. Anyone who truly dedicates him/herself to SFI will surely become a leader not just in SFI alone but in any endeavor.

Having said that, let us look at some of the qualities of a leader.

1. Commitment

Showing commitment means doing

Nobody is born a leader. You can have an inborn instinct to help others succeed, and that will help you to *become* a leader. It's entirely possible to become an SFI Team Leader on points alone, certainly, but I would hope the *real* question is "How do I become a GOOD SFI Team Leader?"

Now, there's plenty of writing on that here, under "Being an Awesome Sponsor," and there are people who will point you toward "Duplication," and while those documents are

Most leaders become so because of situations they act on. Being a leader is merely being a worker that others want to follow. To say that you have to be born a leader is a misconception. Leaders come in all different types, shapes, gender, color and whatever. They are those who take advantage of situations, take calculated risks and never give up on gaining a goal. Here are the rules that build leaders:

1. Watch for opportunities to act.
2. Do what you can to assist in any situation
3.

New born babies never born having a vast knowledge of leadership or any other skill when they look the light of earth first with their surprised views. They achieve it slowly when they enter into the world of education and culture

In one hand it is not necessary that you have to be a businessman or having an existing business to start with SFI and on the other hand you shouldn’t be a qualification of born leader to lead your team in SFI

Leadership is one of the greatest

There are many perspectives to this question but this is my opinion.

You have individuals who have inherent talents and qualities so they are born with those characteristics and therefore it takes little or no effort for them to accomplish those tasks-they just develop the talent over time and become the best in what they choose to do with their talent. Then we have those who work hard to achieve similar results. It's possible to compete with the one who is naturally talented but it depends

Nice question : how to be a team leader if you were not born leaders?

A leader is not born. The leader can become over time. You must have developed some specific skills, but they also develop over time.

I think the most important thing to have a VISION, to see the BIGGER picture, to have FAITH in ourselves and our actions. Then radiates irresistible positive energy, uniqueness and splendor attracts people like a magnet.

It is necessary to know how to mobilize people

First, let me personally say that we are not born to be leaders. However, great leaders are born through learning, life experiences and awareness.

Learning:
Learning can be from reading, attending classes or group seminars. Examples of leaders in our everyday life would be Teachers, The President, The CEO of a company, the managers or supervisor in a workplace and many more. Before becoming leaders, this group of people need to educate themselves so as to be qualified of the chosen

Being Team leader in SFI is not too difficult. All you have to do is learn more & more everyday in SFI. When you have learned something, you will feel confident about teaching your PSAs. Just have a normal chat with your PSAs, encourage & cheer them up, teach them what you have learned. Let them do their work & learn it, you just guide them. You don't do their work, otherwise they will become dependent on you & will never improve. Don not mislead them. Set a proper plan & make
