How young is too young to start?

Years ago the prevailing wisdom was not to teach children a second or third language until they were teenagers or adults because it might confuse them. Since then, the prevailing wisdom pendulum seems to have swung the other direction as further research shows that children are able to learn languages quickly when they're young and that those of us who waited until we were older actually find it more difficult to pick up second or third languages than if we had started as children.

So in a similar thought trajectory, I posit that we should teach children leadership skills. I'll try to explore more thoroughly about the ‘how’ to do that using this post I welcome comments and feedback.
