Abstract

Leadership Dynamics in Nepalese Village communities is a representative vision of the reality. The main thrust of the present study is to find out the emergence of leadership, to identify the basic components which provide an environment for the emergence of leadership and to explore the role of leadership for social, economic and political transformation in the rural areas of Nepal. Present study also attempts to explore the dynamics of leadership as it is embeded and remain functional and provide meaning to the people who live for centuries to the rural areas of Nepal. The study of community leadership is significant to generate knowledge on bringing positive social,cultural and economic transformation in the village communities of Nepal. Leaders in the Nepalese Villages are not necessarily formal leaders with political affiliations andofficial position. In this context professional attainment may not be characteristics of the most influential leaders who live and work in the rural communityies of Nepal. But these are the men who are silently trusted; people consult them, seek their advice and listen to them patiently with respect. They are invited in the important ceremonies, are called upon to settle disputes and are chosen to places of responsibility. Their influence may or may not be overflow the village boundaries, they may not be active in party politics, and some of them probably have never contested elections for any formal officeal positions. It is easy to identify formal leaders who hold offices in formal organizations or are elected to places of responsibility.
