In the fourth industrial revolution, to become intelligent citizens and actively contribute to the country, the younger generation needs to have good soft skills, especially those related to leadership skills. However, at the higher education institution level, many students need to gain direct experience in leading either on campus or outside campus. This paper aims to develop leadership skills in higher education through service learning in the context of Indonesia. A case study with qualitative approaches is used in this research, and the subjects are ten students and a lecturer from one university in Surakarta, Indonesia. This research describes that service learning can effectively develop leadership skills, especially problem-solving and communication skills. The success of service learning brings psychological changes that are shown in students' soft skills. This study provides insights and solutions that can be used to reduce the failure of students to lead themselves toward better life decisions by mastering leadership skills in this era.
