The development of Leadership is essential for the development of gifted children and youth and requires unified and competent leaders to act as guides and role models. Leadership experience can help and motivate gifted children and assist them in learning in a global environment. Is leadership potential something that we are born with or can we learn it? How can we discover and develop it in high ability children? In this chapter, I will try to answer and clarify these questions and share the newest methods of development of leadership and what we can do for our bright children. Our goal here is to provide a definition that is useful across all domains of education and explore several perspectives of leadership in gifted education and its relationship to giftedness and creativity.

Is the possession of formidable abilities, skills, a creative flair, and considerable intellectual prowess, a path to successful leadership? The brief answer is no. While leadership is a human universal, few theories and management procedures include a biological and genetic foundation for explaining and facilitating leadership behavior and practice. Gifted individuals, irrespective of how ethical, intelligent, and wise, are highly unlikely to reach the pinnacles of power and influence. They are too different in comparison to most others. Should they manage to move upwards in the social hierarchy despite of this, they arrive at the top as changed individuals. By force of evolution, social status as well as degree of power and influence, change the behavior of an individual physiologically affecting both perception and personal characteristics prompting a leader to become less ethical and more coercive as well as manipulative. This chapter focuses on the evolutionary origins of leadership and discusses the obstacles to operationalize transformational leadership in large groups and populations. While a consistent ethical and compassionate leadership is largely a futile endeavor on a large scale, it is feasible on a much smaller scale with a group of fewer than about 250 individuals. Glamour, fame, and worldwide recognition, as attributes of an ethical and wise Great Leader to nations, large organizations, or multinational businesses, contrary to the hopes and wishes of many, are not available for our best and brightest—and never will be, unless Homo Sapiens is somehow reprogrammed by evolution. The possible implications of this for gifted leadership training is discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)

This chapter describes a special form of giftedness in the domain of leadership. Although this domain has been officially recognized in the United States Office of Education since 1972, this chapter defines what makes this form of giftedness different in its outcomes and nurturance from other domains of ability. The first section will review the leadership giftedness field while the remaining sections will describe leadership skills measures and recent research applied to young students engaged in a leadership development program. The chapter will conclude with a discussion about what may be possible "innate" aspects of leadership and what traits, perceptions, and behaviors might be developed through concerted training in leadership skills.

In fairy tales, many protagonists learn by journeying through the Woods, whereas most children in the modem world learn by going through the school system. In this chapter, we use the fairy tale characters from the musical. Into the Woods, as a metaphor for the development of creatively gifted students in our school system (i.e., the Woods). We first trace key research and beliefs about giftedness and creativity in the West, then contrast this with how these concepts are considered in the East (specifically discussing South Korea). We then review how school systems treat various creatively gifted students and problems that commonly arise. Last, we discuss future directions for how school systems can nurture creativity in all students. Discussed solutions include: the RTI model for gifted programs, teaching creative metacognition, and developing effective and efficient creativity assessments.
