Why leadership development must be integrated into academic programmes

Opportunities, not titles or jobs, are the foundation of leadership. Rather than being seen as a goal reached at the end of a student’s journey, leadership should be fostered right from the beginning. It usually develops slowly, through curiosity, support, and an environment that lets students try things, fail, and learn.


Academic institutions are moving away from considering leadership as a collection of discrete activities, such as sporadic workshops or seminars, and are fostering it through four key pillars: early identification, structured mentorship, experiential learning, and recognition frameworks. This lays the groundwork for graduates who can think critically, act morally, and lead with purpose.
