    Are leaders developed? Or do they emerge? This is one of the most debated questions in leadership studies.

    Whereas emergent leadership is characterized by employees who take on informal leadership roles based on their own initiative and the perception of their colleagues. These individuals may not have a formal leadership title but exhibit leadership characteristics by voluntarily taking on tasks, helping others, and encouraging consensus among coworkers. Emergent leaders often gain respect among employees by demonstrating hard work and empathy. This video will explore if one leadership style is preferable over the other.
