Many leadership experts support the notion that leadership isa scholarly discipline that can be taught (Bennis, 1989; Bass, 1994). It is important that you understand the difference between the socialization of a leader and leadership theory education. Many successful leaders obtain their leadership skills from practice, in other words, they are socialized into leadership as they have learned from their experiences. ALED 340, however, is a collegiate leadership education course where we study the scholarly discipline of leadership theory.
