When it comes to nature vs nurture, there are some leaders that are successful no matter where they go because of who they are and there are some leaders that will thrive is some environments but not in others. This is very apparent in sports. Coaches that fall into this category can go to a new team that is not doing well and completely turn it around. They can also take a team that is successful and help them win a championship. These coaches are highly sought after because they have come up with a system that leads to success. There are also coaches that haven’t figured out a successful system, so no matter where they go they fail even if they are in a great environment.
