Abstract

Leadership is a field studied considerably since ancient years. Leadership scholars concentrate on the innate traits that born leaders have, while others focus on the traits attained throughout a person's life. Another common notion is that mainly individuals in higher positions in organizations practice leadership. Although students of leadership mainly study it during their university years, the plethora of leadership educational programs often teach on a theoretical basis leading to partial application to real-world cases. Recent research has surfaced the need to enrich primary and secondary education and curricula with instructional methodologies, which instill leadership qualities to students, like ethos, empathy, and compassion, while providing students with skills and capabilities essential to develop effective leaders of tomorrow. Additionally, educating young students to become accountable, compassionate, and kind while enriching their learning with service mindedness and the cultivation of belonging, collaboration, and interaction builds character and leadership qualities.
