Abstract
The Leadership Studies Program is designed to fulfill the societal need for future leaders. It is a systematic, comprehensive approach for training average to superior students with leadership potential in grades six through eleven. The major purpose of the program is to give these students the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve optimum growth in leadership development. The program focuses on nine areas necessary for leadership development as derived from the literature on adult leadership training: fundamentals of leadership, written and speech communication, group dynamics, problem solving, values clarification, personal skills, decision making, and planning. As a result of this training, the students who participated in this study gained significantly in all nine areas of leadership as measured by the Leadership Skills Inventory.
