Abstract
There are many questions about leadership development that remain unanswered. There is also a wide variety of different theoretical approaches to explain the complexities that exist in the leadership field. This research paper addresses the topical issue of leadership development in adolescent boys. It approaches the study from a perspective of investigating the role of authoritative parenting style, parental teaching and guidance strategies, and the meditative effect of psychological autonomy in adolescents. Through qualitative research methods of semi-structured interviews, and a limited number of measurement scale questions, the thoughts and feelings of parents and their scouts are explored. The data collected from these interviews, and an extensive literature review provided the basic framework to construct a conceptual research model, which potentially will be able to predict preferable leadership outcomes in adolescents. By offering this conceptual model, this research paper aims to generate new and useable knowledge in the field of leadership studies, and child and adolescent development.
