Are leaders born or made? Made, actually, and the scars show. Often the scars are hard won through adversity, from when leaders have tried to lead others, but found no-one will follow them: it takes two to tango. So is there a way to make this process less painful? Leadersmithing: it's about learning how to learn the craft well. Like dance steps, it is about choreographing the right learning experiences, to create the muscle-memory required to lead successfully in the future. Eve Poole teaches leadership and has written several books. Her latest book, Leadersmithing, is published by Bloomsbury in March 2017. She has a BA from Durham, an MBA from Edinburgh, and a PhD from Cambridge. She is the Chairman of Gordonstoun School. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
