We are conducting a longitudinal research project in which we are following students through their college years to determine different pathways that they take to develop their leadership and leadership identity while in college. We are looking for any research that examines the pathways student leaders take over time. Are there studies that explore the courses, position, or other involvements that a student had throughout the course of their college or high school education?
Volunteerism is one way of doing this: http://journalofleadershiped.org/attachments/article/97/Lockett%20and%20Boyd.pdf

Becoming recognized for their academic and leadership potential should be an integral part of developing their aspirations.

Hello,
Notably, college students follow different pathways to change, grow, and transform. Leadership identity , however, is not shaped by titles, positions or flowcharts because it is about a phenomenon deeply ingrained in one's personality and behaviour . Accordingly, the quality of the curricula, teachers' professional level, interaction patterns unfolding in the educational setting ,etc. have a direct bearing on the development of student leadership and identity. More specifically, leadership as the process of influencing others requires the actualization of certain objectives that can be achieved by efforts and coordination of all faculty members and university administration for motivating students to participate in group events where they can learn how to use different styles to influence those events and make impact on other students as well. Therefore, the university education should provide students with a rich communication process whereby interpersonal skills are used for attaining specific goals . Since leadership is about vision, ideas, and directions , it has a powerful impact on inspiring people to develop the trust between them and through collaborative work facilitate the achievement of predetermined goals. On this basis, the academic programs implemented at universities are potentially capable of inspiring students to do tasks which expose them to the requirements of leadership and leadership identity.
Best regards,

I have over the years seen a trend
1) Academic Achievemnet and hence representing the institute in academic contests.
2) extra or co curricular activities with a keen sense of organising fests or events
3) sports achievements and leading the Institute to a new platform
these are trends that create leadership qualities in the students I have seen
if one analyses it’s just confidence in a particular domain of interests
coming to think of this I relate this with Frames Of mind by Gardner H
but I have no concrete proof or record corelating types of intelligence with leadership in a domain being the comfort zone of the individual
I am working on a project right now and we are looking into how leadership experiences influence CS Professional Identity. So far we have found that females are more inclined to pursuing management careers: both pure management as well as technical management once they graduate

We have also found how experiences in leadership have difference influences on male as well as female students regarding their thoughts to switch CS major. Females who have frequent thoughts to switch CS major had a very positive experience in leadership. Males on the other hand wished to stick to technical jobs after having a positive leadership experience.
