Are leaders born or made? If the answer is made, then can leadership be taught and
learned? These and other similar questions are the focus of this article which
reviews the research in both leadership development and education. In addition to the
literature review, a clear distinction is drawn between leadership development and
education; current theory-building efforts are illustrated; and the paper concludes
by proposing future directions in leadership development and education research.
