Abstract:
Schools from time immemorial have been the beckons of light to the society and one cannot deny the role of teachers in it. The ultimate aim of any school is to produce students of quality so that they will be fit enough to lead themselves and others as they graduate out from the school. The onus of producing quality students into the society lies in the hands of teachers in schools. It is in these formative years, students learn to be mentally strong, physically alert and emotionally stable and spiritually elevating. The leadership behavior of teachers reflect the leadership quality of students in the demanding situation prevailing today. In a nutshell, the school education is given a new fillip once teachers who interact with the students on a daily basis, are equipped with skills such as Interpersonal, Intellectual operations, Behavioral and emotional stability, Ethical moral strength, adequacy of communication, operations as a citizen etc., to eventually become teacher-leaders. Needless to say a teacher preserves the past, reveals the present and creates the future and hence leadership skills are a must for them.
