ITCM 71: Are leaders born or created (and what are you)?

This age-old question brings up varying responses from Marcus & LT, yet there is plenty that they both agree on. Do you enter the world a born leader? Is leadership something you cultivate over time? How does it transcend through your friendships, family and professional life?
