While you personally may not view leadership as something one is gifted in, many other respected sources do such as the Belin-Blank center do.
Certainly some people are much better at attracting followers than others, both for good and for ill. It helps to be tall, good-looking, and outgoing. But I don't see what the common educational needs are of one student who has an IQ of 145 and can handle academic work that is several grade levels ahead and other student with IQ of 100 who is popular and a natural leader.
