A major transition to form an attitude towards one’s body image is one of the most important phase of the adolescent and in a broader aspect we call this phase as Puberty. The individual takes up certain roles and responsibilities keeping in mind their body image which influences the health status and self concept. Rightly put by Harter as the construction of the self where the adolescents discover who they are and where do they fit .The impact and the outcome of the physical, emotional and behavioral changes is so vivid that it can affect the overall development of the adolescent. A confident and enterprising individual has all the qualities of a person with positive body image which can further inculcate in him qualities to become a good leader. Along with Leadership comes power and with power comes responsibilities. Hence, body image plays an extensive role in moulding great and responsible leaders
