Absolutely!

One challenge to this that I see in organizations is that too many people rose through the ranks without being expected to lead.  At some point up the ladder someone declared "you are a leader".   In other cases they had the position long before leadership because an expectation of the job.  There are also a lot of people who end up in positions requiring leadership today who got there based on their technical competence and knowledge alone.  Promotion is still often the only way to increase income and prestige in so many organizations.. It is a challenge to compel the reluctant leader to choose to lead.  I wonder, is this a generational thing that will be "corrected" as the next generation rises through the ranks or will this phenomena continue to persist until we figure out better ways to design organizations?
