Abstract
The classic debate about leadership revolves around the question: “are leaders born or are they made?” (Avolio, 2005). Previously it was believed that leaders are born but now the current concern is ‘developing leadership’. Management courses believe that leadership is something that can be taught. Leadership is considered as a process rather than skill. These kinds of programmes tend to consist of a variety of practices that aim to facilitate leadership on a number of levels. It includes public speaking ability, management techniques, ability to process complex ideas, training, knowledge development, and capacity building. On the basis of random convenient sampling, the survey was conducted. A sample of 400 respondents was considered and study was conducted amongst the student in Delhi, Gurgaon and Ghaziabad. The sample was administered in person. A self-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. The results clearly indicate that there is significant difference between male and female students for leadership skills.
