So you have a group of people, all adults, and probably [[Badass|badassesbadass]]es. Who will you leave in charge of the bunch? [[Large and In Charge|Someone even bigger, more experienced, and tougher than they are]], right? Not this time--thetime—the leader is a person younger than all the rest, maybe even a kid. This usually shows that the young leader is smarter than his or her adult lackies, or that some manner of higher authority (usually their powerful parents) has placed them in charge. In any case, this usually makes for an interesting character dynamic.
Royalty fall under [[A Child Shall Lead Them]], while corporate versions are the [[Grade School CEO]].
 
Related to [[Improbable Age]] and [[Ensign Newbie]].

=== Tropes: ===
 
== [[Anime]] ==
* The Pope in ''[[Trinity Blood]]'', pictured above.
* In ''[[Bleach]]'', Toshiro is Captain of the 10th squad by virtue of being a [[Child Prodigy]] (not quite [[Improbable Age]], since he's still [[Really 700 Years Old]], but he's a lot less physically mature than the other captains). To the point where his lieutenant (herself an [[AdultMan Child]] who acts a lot less maturly than him) was the one who recruited him.
* ''[[Code Geass]]'' has a 16 years old sub-Viceroy in season 1... A Viceroy as old as this in season 2... Someone who tells Zero he doesn't mind him being a student... Should we speak about empress of China? {{spoiler|Or Emperor Lelouch? Empress Nunnally?}}
