Abstract: If $ (X, d)$ is a complete metric space and $ T : X \to X$ is a contraction mapping, then the conclusion of the Banach-Caccioppoli contraction principle is that the sequence of successive approximations of $ T$ starting from any point of the space converges to a unique fixed point. In this paper, we obtain a sufficient and necessary condition of the above conclusion in terms of the so-called strong Leader mappings.
