What is leadership?

Asking a group of people their definition of leadership will elicit as many definitions as there are people present. For many people, it’s one of those things that “I know it when I see it.”

As varied as opinions are on a definition of leadership, they are also divided on the question, “Can leadership be taught?” There is an elusive quality to good leaders that learning and practicing the skills of leadership just doesn’t address.

At Leadership Logistics, we believe that leadership can be taught. Leadership is a combination of personality traits, skills, and experience. Two of these things can be directly influenced by a leadership teacher, student activities director, or mentor. You can’t make a leader out of a person who doesn’t want to lead, but you can teach skills and place students in situations where they can practice those skills, thereby gaining experience they can apply to new leadership situations.

Leadership Logistics is dedicated to helping those who work with student leaders do the best job they can by providing resources, ideas, training, and other logistical services to support student leadership development. Let us know how we can help you!
