Abstract
This material presents my work as a programme leader in vocational education, focusing on the research question: "Is there value in teaching leadership qualities to learners in a tertiary context?" The research explores an underlying premise of my practice that teaching leadership values helps learners become well-rounded, confident individuals who are better equipped for success in all areas of their lives. While much of the existing research in this field focuses on leadership in education, this study delves into the specific methods used to teach leadership qualities, considering cultural and regional factors. Insights were gained through interviews with trainers, lecturers, and consultants. Using narrative-rich methods, I created a blend of factual and fictional storytelling to communicate the findings. This thesis establishes a framework for embedding leadership values into programmes, creating meaningful learning opportunities, and offering practical resources to support vocational education. Through this process, I have strengthened my role as a thought leader, enhancing curriculum design in ¯akonga-centered vocational training.
