Abstract
Are leaders born or made? Aburning question scholars havedebated for decades. Researchers have proven that though some leaders are born with natural leadership capabilities, leadership traits can be developed and instilled into individuals. Despite being able to achieve effective leadership through training, ineffective leadership is still a major issue the world faces today. Many enter the workforce unprepared and unequipped to manage a team and work well with others. The solution is implementing change prior to individuals beginning their professional journey. Developing leaders at an earlier age will eventually lead to the cure of ineffective leaders in corporate and government positions around the world. A leadership development program created to equip high school students with the skills and personal qualities needed to excel in executive and managerial positions proved that students desire more opportunities to grow. The program yielded positive results with simply one session for nearly 200 students. Every participant learned something new and desired more opportunities such as the program in their school. Building up the next generation of leaders is the cure to ineffective leadership.
