True "management is not leadership". It requires the right skills for the
situation and skills in leading methods and knowledge of the leadership
process. All of these skills can be acquired, that is learned. People with
more native aptitude and or dedication learn to lead better but anyone can
learn the skills and be a better leader. It is not a mystery. It is not
charisma but doing the right things for the situation.
You are right managers are appointed to a station. Leaders are developed.
Most often self developed. Leadership is independent of station
