Leadership is the innate quality or because of my practice?

Leadership is an innate quality. This is the conclusion of scientists after conducting fish research and predicting unrest in animal social groups as well as humans, when the natural role is reversed.

This study has now been published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B issue on August 28.

Animal groups tend to perform better when there is a combination of willing individuals to follow and strong leaders, exist in most daring animals and extrovert individuals. than.

But motives as a higher wage in humans can make obedient subjects naturally leaders and scientists have long argued about the desire for such a reversal.

To explore whether natural submissive individuals could become leaders and vice versa, the group of scientists studied the sticklebacks, a predator that has both brave individuals and shy.

First, they studied this fish in a large experimental tank within a few weeks to separate "leaders" from submissors.

Scientists have found that leading fish are more natural to leave deep pools, secure insurance and move through shallow "risky" waters to go to a food station. After that, the fish was divided into pairs, a brave child and a shy child.

In one experiment, the fishes were "rewarded" for food to encourage them to show their natural behavior, the fish leaders started a trip and the fish followed suit. For a second, they are rewarded for their initial role reversal: The shy fish is eaten each time, and it begins a journey to hunt for food and a bolder fish following behind.

Scientists' prediction is that daring fish will perform poorly when forced to accept the role of followers, indicating they are less responsive to the behavior of other individuals.

Mr. Nakayama said that fish can learn to obey but fight for leadership. We find that leaders are innate.
