  • This chapter examines what is known about the manifestations of giftedness and leadership among youth, and demonstrates how the practice of mentoring can enable gifted youth to become leaders. It addresses the following questions: What defines giftedness and leadership and how do they compare between youth and adults? Is the practice of mentoring effective in promoting leadership among gifted youth, as shown in the National Mentoring Program in Israel? To what extent can highly gifted youth work as creative problem-solvers? What implications can be drawn from the Israeli experience for a model of mentoring to enhance leadership among gifted youth? Several key structural principles and pedagogical practices, which emerge from the National Mentoring Program in Israel, seem to be critical in creating a mentoring program enhancing achievement and leadership. The structural principles relate to program components that are essential for such a program and to the process of identifying young scholars and matching them with suitable mentors. The chapter finally suggests that the structural and pedagogical principles gleaned from the experience of implementing and evaluating the National Mentoring program in Israel, provide the essential components of a model for mentoring which enhances achievement and leadership among gifted high school scholars.
