The keywords for this study were the early experiences of the school leaders during elementary days, the past experiences with the school activities and encounters from their teachers and significant person. The results identified that through childhood experiences of independency, selfless action, multi-tasking responsibilities, time discipline, following order without complaint and self-determination all contributed to the competency development of a school leader. The findings of their study give an insight into the essential role of childhood experiences in building competence and adaptation later in their life. These findings shed further light on the essential role of childhood experiences in building self competency and the adaptation process of individuals later on in life.
