DEFINITION

INTRODUCTION

Young people are growing up with ideals, expectations, ambitions and talents which are unprecedented, driven by new technology, affluence and globalization. As a nation, we have an abundance of strong organizations engaged in youth leadership.

CONCEPTUALISING LEADERSHIP

• SEED:• • ‘S’ is for social and emotional

competencies that include self-awareness, social awareness and social skills

• • ‘E’ is for emotional resilience – the ability to cope with shocks or rebuffs that may be short – or long-term

CONT.

• ‘E’ is for enterprise, innovation and creativity – the ability to shape situations, imagine alternatives, remain open to new ideas, problem-solve and work in teams

• • ‘D’ is for discipline – both inner disciplines to defer gratification and pursue goals, as well as the ability to cope with external discipline.

DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP

• Authentic opportunities• Meeting needs• Challenge• Support• Reflection.

AUTHENTIC OPPORTUNITIES

• It has been argued that “the goal of leadership development ultimately involves action, not knowledge”. Young people learn leadership by doing leadership.

MEETING NEEDS

Youth leadership programmers that reflect their participants’ concerns, fears and hopes about the future are those best placed to help young people develop a positive psychology, which Katy Granville Chapman believes has strong links with leadership. If young people have a good level of wellbeing and are psychologically healthy, according to Granville-Chapman, they are more able to lead and, similarly, more sensitive to and able to enhance the wellbeing of those they seek to inspire and motivate

CHALLENGE

• Providing young people with challenges and the correct amount of support and guidance to meet those challenges can help them grow and develop.

SUPPORT

• Effective programmers connect young people to caring adults. Supporting and guiding – without steering the process or taking control – can be very difficult for young leaders’ supporters, facilitators and mentors. Providing young people with authentic opportunities is not only about encouraging participation, but also needs to focus on adults ceding power.

REFLECTION

• Challenge, in the form of actual decision-making, combined with effective support from adults is two elements of youth leadership development that are consistently emphasized

CONCLUSION

• . Successful youth leadership programmes provide pathways for young people to get involved in shaping their world with a wider geography in mind, away from issues that affect them solely as individuals of a particular race, class, faith or gender and onto issues that affect young people more generally as citizens.

CONT.

• . Youth leadership provision needs to capitalise on that excitement in order to inspire and encourage the next generations to build up their skills and capabilities to make a positive contribution to their communities and societies.

FINDINGS

• Providing young people with the opportunity to develop and exercise leadership can have benefits for the individual young person, their peer group and society more broadly

• The emotional and social skills that enable effective leadership have broader significance beyond their potential to prepare young people to take on formal leadership roles; these skills are crucial to young people’s successful transition to adulthood.

• Youth leadership can serve as a vehicle for tackling pressing social challenges and catalyzing positive social change.
