Leadership Behavior among B.Ed Trainees

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.
