What Makes an Exceptional Leader?

Leadership shapes how we influence, inspire, and contribute to the world. While leadership skills like communication and decision-making are important, they are learned abilities—whereas leadership qualities like integrity, empathy, and resilience define who a leader is.

Great leaders embody values, not just techniques. Unlike skills, qualities must be cultivated and lived by. At HSArts’ leadership class, we focus on developing both—empowering students to become exceptional leaders who make a lasting impact.
