Leadership coaching for students

  • Leadership as a virtue means “to be compelled to organize people to get things done and accomplish shared goals.”
  • It as a virtue is linked to the everyday-leadership-activities, rather than to a particular official position.
  • It is a rare virtue strength, and can be trained over time.
  • It can be combined with other virtues to form unique leadership styles, e.g., kind leader, fair leader.

I ask my students to record their reactions when finding out about their leadership virtue. Particularly, I asked: “What does it feel like when you are leading others?” Some felt scared, heavy, and burdened, while others felt pride, content and confident.

  • Only 5 out of the 90 students have leadership as their Top 5 Virtues.
  • The students’ top virtues were Kindness, Honesty, Fairness and Appreciation of Beauty.
