Schools have an important role to play in developing future leaders by nurturing leadership potential in students. A new generation of leaders is needed to address issues like mistrust, disappointment, hunger, lack of education, environmental disasters, terrorism, disease, selfish politics, drug and alcohol abuse, bullying, and war. While leadership traits are often associated with certain positive or negative attributes, true leadership involves authentic self-expression through collaborative relationships that achieve common goals. All people have innate leadership potential, and schools should cultivate this in democratic environments where all students take responsibility.

2. Why there is a need
to develop a new
generation of
leaders?

3. Because of…
• Mistrust
• Dissapointment
e.g. hunger, not receiving
Basic education,
environtment disaster,
terrorism, disease, self-
interest political, drug
abuse, alcohol, bullying,
war

4. Are there any left for leadership??

5. HOPE
A new generation of leaders can help transform the way we
live, the way we work, and the way the world operates.

6. Why teacher??
A teacher who is genuinely passionate about teaching a
subject will also be on a journey of learning and
discovery. Not just about the subject to be taught but a
journey of learning about themselves and how they can
use their whole being to make a difference.

7. The role of schools and
education in developing
this neglected and
often misunderstood
talent

8. Why school??
“In school, a collection of youngsters come together for a certain
number of hours each day; the students are expected to be civil to
one another, to heed the dominant adult figure(s), and to sit still for
relatively long periods of time so that they can master materials
whose application to their daily lives seems obscure” (Gardner, H)

9. “There are five or ten others with the same potential
for leadership who have never led or perhaps even
considered leading”
John Gardner

10. How??

11. Childhood and leadership role models
In the past, research has focused primarily on the traits
that individuals associate with the world ‘leader’. These
may be positive or negative

12. Things to be considered..
• Parental models
• Early experiences of school
• Society
• figures

13. • The word ‘leader’
comes from the Old
English word laed
meaning path or
journey.

15. LEADERSHIP
AUTHENTICITY
INTEGRITY
COURAGE
SELF-KNOWLEDGE
CHALLENGERESPONSIBILITY

16. “ Leadership is the authentic expression of individuals
at their best, when engaged with others achieving a
common purpose that is more than goal setting”
Hilarie Owen

17. “Leadership is not just the behavior of a single
individual, but rather, is characterized by a
collaborative relationship between the individual
and those they are leading.

18. CONCLUSIONS (Owen)
# 1 Every single human being
has some leadership
potential
# 2 No two people express
leadership in the same
way
# 3 We will not become the
leader we are capable of
being just attending a
leadership course
# 4 To have leadership
expressed throughout a
school or any
organization, more
democratic, all take
responsibility
