Abstract
In this study, family attitudes and behaviours, along with educational factors during school years, which are believed to have an effect on the development of leadership, are researched. In the study, the qualitative research method and phenomenological model have been applied. The participants were identified as one female and one male student by means of the snowball and convenience sampling methods. In the study, two fundamental factors, namely the familial and educational factors, were determined as supporting the development of leadership in students. In this context, it was observed that families had a democratic attitude towards their children, that they displayed supportive behaviour towards them, and that they gave them guidance in a healthy communicative environment. As for in schools, it was observed that teachers gave the students duties in educational, social and sporting exercises and that they encouraged them to take part in various activities.
Highlights

In this context, revealing whether or not family attitude, participation in school activities and social skills are effective in leadership development may contribute towards a better understanding of leadership development [29]
By revealing experiences of the school years, family attitudes and learning that may have an effect on leadership development, certain findings may be presented with regard to the experiences and varieties of the first years of life
Summary
It is stated that in order to understand the roots of leadership development, certain features of educational, social and family experiences may be effective in both the childhood and youth periods of individuals. With regard to leadership qualities, researchers have tended to focus on managers or individuals from business life In this context, leadership qualities such as achievement, patience, perception, entrepreneurship, self-confidence, sociability, consistency and extroversion have been determined [31]. Leadership qualities such as achievement, patience, perception, entrepreneurship, self-confidence, sociability, consistency and extroversion have been determined [31] In these studies, qualities commonly possessed by effective leaders are stated to be personality, competence and motivation. On the other hand, during the school years and student period, too, individuals possess certain leadership qualities Among these are respect, service, honesty, skill, passion, learning, empathy, attitude, dedication and energy [38]. The following leadership qualities have been determined as observable in students: (i) Desire to compete (ii) Ability to solve problems creatively (iii) Capacity for critical reasoning (iv) Skill in seeing new relationships (v) Ease of articulation (vi) Flexibility of thought and movement (vii) Tolerance for uncertainty (viii) Ability to motivate others [38]
