Leonard Ashok, M.
ABSTRACT
A leader is one who selects, equips, trains, and influences one or more followers who have
diverse gifts, abilities, skills and focuses the followers to the organization's mission and
objectives causing the followers to willingly and enthusiastically expand spiritual, emotional,
and physical energy in a concerted coordinated effort to achieve the organizational mission and
objectives. A good teacher is always a good leader. This paper is an attempt to study the
leadership behavior of the B.Ed. trainees. 1000 B.Ed. trainees from thirteen colleges in
Coimbatore district have been selected as sample. Leadership behaviour rating scale constructed by
Sathiya Sivagirirajan (2008) is used as the tool to find the leadership behaviour of the B.Ed.
trainees. The study reveals that the leadership behavior of the B.Ed. trainees is moderate. Also
there is significant difference in the leadership behavior of the B.Ed. trainees based on the
gender and age.
