The research aims at analyzing the relations between the leadership of farmers’ groups and the group dynamic and ability of the group member in managing the farm, survey to two farmer’s groups namely Bina Mekarsari and Rawasari was conducted in Purwasari Village, Dramaga District, Bogor Regency. A number of 15 active members from each group were selected as respondents (total farmers involved in the survey were 30)., Interviews with the respondents were administered to gather the data about the leadership and the dynamics of the group. Rank-Spearman Correlation was used to test the correlation between the variables. The research results show that the leadership behaviour and leadership abilities have positive correlation with the level of dynamism of Rawasari Farmers Group. There is no correlation between, leadership styles and the level of group dynamics. However, in Bina Mekarsari Farmer Group, the three leadership indicators do not have correlation with the level of group dynamics. It is also interesting in the two groups, individual characteristics of farmers do not correlate with the group dynamics and also the correlation does not exist between the group dynamics and the ability to manage the farms. This indicates, the leaders of the groups are the centrals for the groups and the members to develop better.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perilaku kepemimpinan dan kemampuan kepemimpinan memiliki korelasi positif dengan tingkat dinamika Kelompok Tani Rawasari. Tidak ada korelasi antara gaya kepemimpinan dan tingkat dinamika kelompok. Namun, pada Kelompok Tani Bina Mekarsari, ketiga indikator kepemimpinan tersebut tidak memiliki korelasi dengan tingkat dinamika kelompok. Menariknya pada dua kelompok, karakteristik individu petani tidak berkorelasi dengan dinamika kelompok dan juga tidak ada korelasi antara dinamika kelompok dan kemampuan mengelola pertanian.
