Leaders influence their surroundings in many ways. In companies, leaders impact work satisfaction, commitment, and engagement (Kouzes & Posner, 2015). In schools, leaders affect student behavior and learning outcomes (Wallace, 2006). Utilizing the Productive Giftedness Model (Paik, 2013, 2015), the present research examines the individual aptitude, instructional, and environmental factors that influence the development of young leaders in Indonesia. Participants in the study were recruited by Indonesia Mengajar, a highly selective intervention program in Indonesia which aims to improve educational conditions around the nation through the mobilization and equipping of local stakeholders. In order to examine leader development from the early to later years, the study uses a mixed-method approach that includes an online survey and a structured interview. Findings from the study demonstrate that leaders are made through a combination of opportunity, support, and resources. Most importantly, findings point to the integral role parents and schools play in the development of leaders and leader-related skills. Parents, educators and policymakers should ensure that every child has access to favorable conditions that will help cultivate leader-related skills from an early age.

In 2009, Sonia Sotomayor made history as the first Latina and the third female Supreme Court Justice since 1789. Sotomayor’s journey took her from a single-parent home in a Bronx housing project to the Supreme Court. Although many women of color have succeeded, very little is known about their stories and what helped them to become accomplished (Kitano, 1998). Based on the Productive Giftedness Model (Paik, 2013, 2015), this chapter discusses key factors that led to Sotomayor’s success. As a biographical case study, content analyses helped determine key themes throughout her school and life experiences. Sotomayor exhibited “productive giftedness” early on through her achievements, determination, and skills, which led to productive outcomes such as academic excellence, awards, prestigious schools, and leadership opportunities (Paik, 2013). Key findings and implications include individual, instructional, and environmental factors such as motivation, family and school support, teachers, mentors, peers, and contextual factors.
