A collection of review on concept of leaders, leadership and importance of leaders

A basic function of extension is to assist the transfer of agricultural technology by ensuring that an adequate amount of high quality knowledge about it is present in the farming community for sustained agricultural development. Studies of the personal characteristics of power holders indicate that they possess high social status and are well known and respected in their communities. While leaders may share some relevant characteristics in similar situations, they also very likely differ in others so that their total personalities are not alike. Informal leadership is earned and maintained by the individuals’ technical competence, social accessibility and conformity to the systems norms.
