“…During the last 10-20 years developing leaders at earlier ages has gained traction and is evidenced by the introduction of leadership programmes for undergraduate university students (Oakland, Falkenberg, & Oakland, 1996). Moreover, leadership training for secondary school adolescents have gained increased acceptance as a priority area for research and development (Barker, 1997).…”

Our understanding of leadership is skewed towards the adult experience of leadership. There is a gap in the literature with regard to the experience of leadership among school children and young adults. Young people experience their first formal organization at school and models of leadership are developed from this critical period. The present review identified studies on leadership development programmes for young adults from 2003 to 2015 via electronic databases: Scopus, PubMed and Science direct. Nine studies met all the inclusion criteria and were analysed with regard to; selection, content, outcomes and theoretical background. Considerable heterogeneity in the methods used was observed. The review presents key research questions that need to be addressed in future studies.

“…Although the term "leadership" may connote a positive social behavior, leadership also involves power, influence, and the skillful management of behaviors (Oakland, Falkenberg, & Oakland, 1996). For example, a leader can be cooperative, but they can also be coercive.…”

This study examined two competing hypotheses regarding the moderators of the association between relational aggression and peer status in early adolescence. The mitigation relational aggression hypothesis examined whether positive social behaviors reduced the negative effects of relational aggression, thus amplifying the association between relational aggression and perceived popularity. The effective use of relational aggression hypothesis examined whether leadership skills facilitated the proficient use of relational aggression, thus amplifying the association between relational aggression and perceived popularity. Participants were 158 fifth graders (52% female). Post hoc analyses indicated that for girls, leadership significantly moderated the association between relational aggression and perceived popularity after controlling for positive social behaviors. Positive social behaviors did not similarly moderate the association between relational aggression and perceived popularity for boys or girls. Our results demonstrated that in

“…According to Hogan and Kaiser (2005), youth "leadership is one of the most important topics in the human sciences and historically one of the more poorly understood" (p. 169). Research has been conducted quantitatively (Antonakis, Avolio, & Sivasubramaniam, 2003;Chan & Drasgow, 2001;Guerin et al, 2011;Oakland, Falkenberg, & Oakland, 1996;Ogurlu & Zhang, Goddard & Jakubiec (2018 while numerous programs and models inform youth leadership and its development, these lack rigorous inclusion of youth insights on leadership and their potential to be leaders. This study was conducted to fill that research gap.…”

Article InfoAlthough considerable research has explored what it means to be a leader from an adult perspective, little has been conducted from the student perspective as an integral component of leadership education, decision making, or educational change. Findings from a longitudinal qualitative case study presented in this article reveal how youth perceive leadership as a complex construct integrating diverse skills, abilities, learning, and change opportunities as well as team and management processes utilized to improve the world and people in it. Youth perceptions of leadership also include responsibility, active and purposeful selfdirection, inspiration, desire and willingness to make a difference, ethical character, and collaborative partnerships with school and district leaders. This article thus bridges the gap in research involving rural youth and informs high school principals and leadership educators about ways to initiate and foster a positive educational change and sense of community among youth, community, school, and district leaders.
