리더십, 타고나는 것으로 밝혀져
영국에서 물고기를 대상으로 실험을 한 결과 ‘리더십’이 선천적인 것이라는 연구 결과가 나왔다.27일 영국왕립학회보가 발표한 보고서에 따르면 연구팀은 역할 전환에 관한 연구를 위해 특정 물고기를 대형 실험탱크에 넣은 뒤 몇 주에 걸쳐 관찰했다.그 결과 리더의 기질을 보인 물고기는 안전한 지역에 머물러 있지 않고 먹이통이 놓여진 위험한 곳으로 이동하려는 경향을 보였다.리더와 추종자 물고기의 역할이 바뀐 상황에서도 리더 물고기가 추종자 물고기에 비해 훨씬 빠르게 달라진 역할에 적응했다.보고서 공동저자인 동시에 케임브리지대학 나카야마 시노스케 동물학 교수는 “추종자 물고기의 경우 리더를 뒤따르는 것은 가능하지만 반대로 리더가 되는데는 어려움이 있다”며 “리더는 타고 나는 것이지 만들어지는 것이 아니라는 사실을 발견했다”고 말했다.연구 결과는 더 나아가 개인이 자유롭게 역할을 맡도록 허용할 때 개인이 속한 집단이 긍정적 효과를 낼 수 있다는 점을 시사한다.“우리가 자연스럽게 느끼는데 따라 리
