Leadership skills are the strengths and abilities of individuals demonstrate that help the oversee
processes, guide initiatives and steer their follower toward the achievement of goals. Valuable
leadership skills include the ability to delegate, inspire and communicate effectively.
No one is born with all the essential leadership qualities. Becoming a good leader requires
important leadership skills. Learning and developing good leadership skills as a leader will
serve the students well when they leave a learning environment and step into the business
world. Whether you’ve been a student leader for some time, challenge yourself to learn
One of the hardest skills to learn as a leader is to work hard on yourself. It’s impossible to lead
someone else if you don’t lead yourself in the right direction. You need to work on yourself by
becoming a good example to others. Working on yourself involves building self discipline and
character. It involves learning to build your own organization skills so you will become an
effective leader.
An effective leader also needs to have effective communication skills that allow a leader to
communicate with others. He or she must know how to use SMART goals in planning. SMART
Mistakes and failures are bound to happen, even to the best leaders. However, leader must learn
Lastly, process facilitation is another essential skill a leader must have. It involves focusing
and finding the roots cause of a problem efficiently and quickly to ensure the issue was resolved
effectively.
Background of The Study
Leadership within organizations is only attainable through the combination and the use of
power and authority. As discussed by John Kotter(1985, p.86) "power is the ability to influence
others to get things done, while the authority is the formal rights that come to a person who
occupies a particular position, since power does not necessarily accompany a particular
position."Problems always arise when power is imposed without the backing of authority
which almost invariably is opposed. While too often we can find powerful people who do not
hold genuine position of authority, we frequently find people who are in a position of authority,
but are powerless to influence the behavior of others. Leadership can be learned, and power
can be develop, but in order to be an effective leader, one must be able to distinguish from the
various form of power and select the one most in line with his or her leadership style, character

educational setting. This review focuses on the effectiveness of leadership style of the student.
Leaders are just like ordinary people who live with passion and dignity that inspire others. They
are just also like us who have struggles in life and a person facing different challenges with no
fear but confidence. Did you wonder that we can be a leader also? Yes, we can if we are able
to know ourselves and if we are ready to cope or to face the challenges or struggles that we
may encounter because sometimes we are just afraid to face the challenges that may enter into
our lives but what if it will be the reason for you to be a leader or it may help you to know
yourself more. Being a leader is not simple, yes we are able to be a leader but what leader will
it be? Will you be able to be a good leader or not? This will be the answer for that question.
You will just be a good leader if you have this: You are able to face the different challenges
in life, you are not after the popularity but you are after the good sake of others. You are able
to manage time and other things that need to be managed and you must have a good
communication with others but the most important is the respect because if you respect yourself
you will be able to respect others and if you respect other, they will respect you as you do.
There are some instance that leaders are doing their job as a leader, but there are some people
who are not satisfied with their style of leading the group, community and other. But as a leader,
you must accept the feedback wholeheartedly even though it is good or not because as a leader,
The concept of student leadership is often used interchangeably with the terms student agency,
student voice and student participation. Researchers tend to identify a spectrum of activities
and practices that constitute student voice and leadership. For example, Holds worth has
proposed an spectrum of student voice, participation and leadership that ranges from young
people "speaking out “to "sharing decision making and implementation of action."Fielding has
constructed a typology that ranges from young people serving simply as a source of data for
school and system processes to acting as active researchers who drive change within their
schools, while Mitras pyramid of student voice ranges from merely "being heard" to "building
The necessity of participation and freedom of expression is explicitly stated in the United
National Convention on the Rights of the Child which calls for signatories to "assure to the
child who is capable of forming his or her own views the right to express those views freely in
all matters affecting the child. Student leadership practices emerge from these rights- based
concept, reflecting the potential and importance of young people's capacity to play the role on
making decisions that affect them. As noted in ARACAY The Nest Action Agenda "evidence
suggest young people's participation may... have a range of important benefits for the
individual, for the organization and for the broader community"(ARACAY, 2014).Specially
within the educational context, participation and decision making practices can afford students
The past two decades have seen a global shift within educational policy toward incorporation
of student’s leadership. Nationally and internationally, policy has increasingly expressed the
intent to encourage students to take greater ownership of their learning to play a greater role
within the decision making and change processes of their schools and ultimately, to have an
active role in the democratic processes and structure of civic society. This reflects the long
standing recognition that schools are ideal institution for transmitting social norms such as civic
leadership and participation and for developing the skills and knowledge required to meet this
norms. It also follows longstanding policy tradition that frames schools as institutions that serve
a set of agreed public purposes including the development of young people's ability to

positive benefits on participants. Student leadership researchers identify a range of skills that
student leaders may acquire through leadership roles including "public speaking, decision -

(Thompson, 2012; Dempster, Stevens and Keefe, 2011).However, there is a little evidence of
robust empirical testing in the student leadership in literature. One Chinese study randomly
allocated students to leadership position, and found that “leadership service increases test
scores, increases students political popularity in the classroom, makes student more likely to
take initiative and shapes students beliefs about the determinants of success. (Anderson and Lu
2014).The author suggest that the study may indicate that leadership opportunities develop an

the official endorsement of the school leaders is instrumental enabling youth participation
within Australian schools and that teacher who wish to instigate participatory practices within
the school depend on their school leaders for approval and support (see for example, Comber
and Nixon, 2009, Down et al. ,2008;Mcl nerney 2009).The same studies have also suggested
that tension are likely to arise if teachers proceed without that approval. Practice that is not
supported by school leadership may also remain isolated on the fringes of the curriculum
.Mitra's detailed study of youth participation initiatives in United State School highlights the
importance of sustainable school structure which give such initiative adequate time and space
within the curriculum and timetable(2008). Black's study of Australian schools shows the same
(2012). Both studies suggest that the peripheral nature of much student participation practice
represents a significant barrier to its capacity to influence the broader school practice and
culture. Principal and school leaders are key drivers of change, culture and climate in school.
Their approach to leadership sends powerful signals to school communities about the ways and
degrees in which participation; voice and student leadership is valued. One of the main claims
made for distributed leadership is that it can significantly build capacity in school and drive
school improvement .Students have a perspective to contribute, and have expertise that can be
leverage.If,as one study suggests "the greater the total amount of leadership exercised, the
better of is the organization (Leithwood and Jantzi ,1998),then the exercising of student
leadership within the school must contribute to its efficacy and effectiveness. Some
commentators argue that school leadership should be reinterpreted to include the expertise and

While the literature on student leadership has flourished over several decades (Mager and
Nowak, 2011, p. 39) ,robust evidence of policy and program effectiveness against important

not possible to present individual evaluation of each of the initiatives outlined in the
student leadership is likely to look like. In their 2012 meta-analysis,Mager and Nowak explain
"no systematic reviews of the effect of the student participation in school decision making have
been conducted so far" (2011, p. 39).Their study identified 52 instances of student participation
in school decision making in the international literature ,which included initiative and structure
considered in the previous section such as school council and school working group and action
teams. The study found that student involved in this group(though not other student within the

Similarly the AITSL literature review Student-center Schools make the difference (Harris et
al., 2013) drew on research suggesting that opportunities for students to input into their own
learning experiences within the school environment can result in psitive effects (Harris et al.,
2013). Bobcock et al.,(2011) also identified research that showed student leadership within the

Leadership within organizations is only attainable through the combination and the use of
power and authority. As discussed by John Kotter(1985, p.86) "power is the ability to influence
others to get things done, while the authority is the formal rights that come to a person who

but are powerless to influence the behavior of others. Leadership can be learned, and power
can be develop, but in order to be an effective leader, one must be able to distinguish from the
various form of power and select the one most in line with his or her leadership style, character
traits and working environment. There are seven types of management powers, which can be
used separately or in combination. The most successful leaders are capable of using most, if
not all of these, simultaneously. While other less fortunate find themselves stagnated with
limitations they must overcome. It is worth nothing that the most common description of power
is French and Raven's, dated back from 1960,which include the first five form of power listed
below.
The seven types of management power are: Legitimate, Expert, Coercive, Reward, Referent,
Legitimate Power -refers to the authority of a formal position and stems from the concept of
ownership rights. Although plethora of leaders believe that their power augmentsas they are
promoted through the ranks, without personal power, legitimate or position power has its

people are being held in its political prison camps, which have existed twice as long as Stalin's
Soviet gulags and twelve times as long as the Nazy concentration camp.
Reward Power - results in workers doing what is asked because they desire positive benefits
or reward. Rewards can be anything a worker values, including, but not limited to praise,
pecuniary, compensation and promotion. For instance, one of the primary reasons people work
is for the remuneration they receive at the end of the payroll cycle, so they can carry on with
their lives.
Referent Power – is gained by association between the person exercising power and some icon
that actually wields influence and power. For instance, if someone is applying a job, that person
can influence the chances of being hired by imposing some referent power to the hiring
manager, mentioning they know the CEO very well, and that he has been encouraged to apply
for said position because he believe that the applicant has the right credentials.
Charisma Power -is a way to exert influence over people through force of character, aimed to
get them to do what the leader wants, thus modifying behavior. In the words of D. A.
Benton(2003 ,p. 125) "you know charisma when you see it can executives who exude self-
confidence, style, composure, authority and a boundless energy that propels them straight into

The Researchers have their own findings and it seems that their researches have different ideas
that collaborate with each other. It is true that being a leader is very challenging, but nothing is
impossible if you want to be a leader. Being a leader has advantage and disadvantage,
advantage because we enhance the ability of being a leader and we are task to do things that
are not familiar to us and because of that, we are having advancement with other people
surrounding us and we can apply the things that they taught to us in different kinds of situation.
There are also different leanings that are implied to us. So in that, we are gifted and we are
lucky to experience of being a leader because not all can experience it. The disadvantage of it
is that sometimes we are having different activity that makes our life not easy because we have
an obligation to do the work on time so the tendency is that, we are sometime frustrated and
sometimes we are depressed because we think that we cannot do it but the reality is, we are just
over thinking the situation, we just have to think clearly and have a piece of mind. William
