Resumen en inglés When I tell acquaintances that I teach Leadership Studies, I inevitably get the question, “How do you teach leadership?” or worse, the quip, “Leaders are born not made.” When asked to write this article, then, I saw it as a wonderful opportunity to share how leadership can be taught using a worthwhile curriculum, specifically within the confines of a Liberal Arts approach to education, such as that found at the McDonough Center for Leadership and Business at Marietta College. The McDonough Center has remained a pioneer in leadership education in the United States after being established in 1987 as the first program of its kind. I have taught in the McDonough Center program for two years, and in light of this rich exposure, I would like to provide a synopsis of my thoughts on the field of Leadership Studies and Leadership Education.1 In the next few paragraphs, I will take the opportunity to articulate the broad history of the field of Leadership Studies, answer some of the field’s detractors, as well as detail a basic curriculum of study based upon the McDonough model in hopes of answering the question “How does one teach leadership?”
