Transformational theory, along with the positive youth development (PYD) perspective, has shown the importance of and linkage between leadership characteristics and youth development. The youth development field should provide a developmental system and an application that advances theory and research for youth. Youth development research has focused mainly on mentoring factors in relation to youth development, but has failed to examine variables such as those described in and assessed by the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), including service orientation, stress tolerance, reliability, clerical potential, sales potential, and managerial potential. The purpose of this study was to identify which of these leadership characteristics predict youth development, as measured by student GPA, from a PYD perspective. Focusing on Boys and Girls clubs in a county of North Carolina, this cross-sectional and ex-post facto study included responses to the HPI sent to staff managers and 455 archived GPAs obtained from the clubs' databases. The profiles of 7 staff managers were selected based on their direct and daily interaction with the students. Although this study used a small sample size of staff managers, the multiple regression analysis revealed leadership characteristics (sales and clerical potential) can predict positive youth development (GPA). Because of the limited managerial sample size, these findings encourage further study with a larger sample. The results also identify effective leadership characteristics that provide a pathway for social change through positive youth development.
