How Leaders Emerge..........?????????

Every collective action involve the action by a set of people. During the exercise of small situation in front of all the groups. Almost all the groups emphasises the fact that there is a specific sub set of the people which acts as a guiding force for the entire collective action. This sub set emerges from the same set of people then what are the distinguished charactersticts these personalities hold that they are able to motivate a large chunk to act in particular way.

Do the sociological studies could explian the reasons for the emergence of leaders?

Do the brought up, socio-economic factors play any role for the emergence of these personalities?

Also why in large chunk of the population mass there is the tendency to be the followers (if so)?

vijay,

i personally feel in most of the situations leaders emerge from with in the suffering people. in cases where leaders have come from outside, that person would have developed a "yes,i can live solely to achieve this" kind of a love toward the sufferors.
leaders are the people who add fuel to the small fire that exists in te hearts of people, make use of individual fire to form a group, make use of that group to break the force that is trying to derail the situation. leader, as name suggests will lead by example to energize the group and carry on the task through the hurdles.
this is the case with most of the leaders in history..eg. gandhi ji and fidel castro
