Abstract: This chapter explores the complex landscape of leadership education, spanning formal, non-formal, and informal contexts. It addresses misconceptions and challenges in the field, including the difficulties in communicating impact. By examining the roots, growth, and outcomes of leadership training, the chapter highlights the false binary between leadership education and training, advocating for an integrated approach to enhance leadership development. The chapter emphasizes the need to understand leadership education as an interdisciplinary practice and underscores the importance of a holistic strategy to cultivate effective leaders capable of addressing multifaceted societal issues.
