Abstract
The current research investigated the emotional intelligence and creative abilities of student leaders to determine if these skills had an impact on their leadership roles and if a relationship existed between the students' emotional intelligence, creativity, and leadership practices. A descriptive study was conducted using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Eighteen high school students from the Champions of Caring program participated in the study. The results of this research will contribute to the educational literature of student leadership and support the development of student leadership models specifically designed to assist students in enhancing their leadership skills. Four significant relationships were found in this study. The first significant finding was that there is a relationship between leadership (Student LPI) and emotional intelligence (EISA) (r = .62, .05 level of significance). When assessing the student essays for emotional intelligence, creativity, and leadership, three significant findings existed. There was a strong relationship found between emotional intelligence and student leadership (r = .66, .01 level of significance), emotional intelligence and creativity (r = .82, .01 level of significance) and creativity and leadership (.55, .05 level of significance). These findings have important implications for the future development of student leadership programs.
