Leadership talent is one of the important capabilities and abilities for organizational leadership and guiding the organization's forces to achieve goals. Talented leaders play a significant role in the change and transformation of the organization and act dynamically and creatively against environmental changes and transformations and provide the most competitive advantage for the organization. Therefore, recognizing and paying attention to leadership talent and its development plays an important role in the success of the organization. The present research was conducted with the aim of identifying the effective factors on the development of students' leadership talent with a qualitative approach and thematic analysis method. The participants of the current research were 18 experts in the field of leadership and students who were responsible for leadership in scientific and academic organizations and associations, who were selected by snowball sampling. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview. After analyzing and coding the data, 134 propositions or basic concepts were identified, which were classified into 26 sub-components . Finally, these sub-components were categorized into four main components (personality characteristics, background, organizational and extra- organizational). Universities' attention to the important factors identified in this research can help attract and better develop leadership talents among students.
