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.
"Natural leader" and "gifted leader" are very different things. Your hypothetical natural leader will probably enjoy a long career at a management level, where he'll spout a meaningless stream of buzzwords and largely stand in the way of people getting things done. The person with a real gift for leadership, on the other hand, will be someone people naturally gravitate towards, who also exhibits a number of traits consistent with intellectual giftedness in general.
As for educational needs... honestly, I don't think real leadership is something that can be taught through a vehicle other than personal experience.
