Great leaders are made, often through adversity. These are the people that stand out and are revered. This doesn't mean that certain things about one's birth don't influence whether someone steps up to the plate or not. It does. When it comes down to it a person's heritage and genealogy predisposes someone to be put into a leadership role such as being a prince, the daughter of a president, or a Kennedy. However, they have to take what is given and use it to their advantage, learn from the people and not be afraid to stand up for what they believe in.
