Course 2, Discussion 1: Understanding your Leadership Style
Hello everyone,
If you are reading this, it means you have come a long way in your leadership training. Kudos to you for all the effort and resilience you have shown! It is amazing how you all are open to learning and adapting to new environments: the environment of leadership!
Before we zoom in and talk more about learning and adapting, lets zoom back out first and talk about how you feel about leadership. Regardless of how you see yourself, there is a leader within you. The one who visualizes how things could have run in a better way if you were in the leading spot. Leading spot here means:
A desire for change
Believing you got the abilities to make it happen
Visualizing success while keeping in mind the bigger picture.
Lets take a look at the leadership styles as proposed by Daniel Goleman
Picture taken from this source.
Your original style could be any of them. So for the purpose of this course, we are going to use a leadership style test to help you identify your core competencies. In brief, we are using the test here to help you identify your leadership approach. So, when you know how you approach an event, you could think and put efforts to bring a change in it. It will allow you to polish your strengths and focus to improve in other different areas as well.
Let's get started!

@Hope
✒️ Which leadership style did you score the highest for?
I scored the highest for the visionary score
✒️ Do you agree with this quiz?
Yes I think this quiz is reflective
Hi, it looks like I am a mix with Pacesetting and Visionary Leader. I think these two types of leaders are more similar to my personality commanding to the commanding trait.
@Hope ✒️ Which leadership style did you score the highest for? Democratic
✒️ Do you agree with this quiz? Yeah, it suprised me that the ones where I had the least points were the two that aren't recommended. I usually don't believe that much in myself and I'm a hugeeee rebel-without-cause person.
@Hope
✒️ Which leadership style did you score the highest for?
I scored highest on Pacesetting with a 34/35
✒️ Do you agree with this quiz?
I defintley do agree with this test as accomplishing tasks efficenlty with high standards is incredibly important to me.
@Hope
✒️ Which leadership style did you score the highest for? I scored 29 out of 35 in the Visionary and Pacesetting styles. So I guess, it's a mix of both for me and followed closely by Democratic and Affiliative.
✒️ Do you agree with this quiz? I do to some extent, as it’s clear that Commanding and Coaching aren't really my styles. However, I have an equal mix of the other styles.
@Hope
Which leadership style did you score the highest for?
I scored highest for affiliative and democratic. I build relationships, build commitment, and generate ideas among my team through participation and consensus.
Do you agree with this quiz?
I would say I do because I always put people first. I believe you work better if you feel better.
@Hope
✒️ Which leadership style did you score the highest for?
I got the top score for the Affiliative leadership style, which is all about building good vibes and relationships in a team.
✒️ Do you agree with this quiz?
Yeah, I think of myself as someone who really values relationships and teamwork, but I also resonate with the Democratic and Visionary styles in which I also score high. I think my way of leading mixes all three styles, trying to inspire growth, get everyone's input, and keep the team harmony.
