Goleman Leadership Style

Goleman's Leadership Style refers to a framework developed by psychologist Daniel Goleman, identifying six primary ways leaders motivate and manage their teams: coercive, authoritative, affiliative, democratic, pacesetting, and coaching. Each style influences organizational culture and performance differently, depending on the situation. For example, an authoritative leader provides clear vision, inspiring others, while a democratic leader encourages team participation. Understanding these styles helps leaders adapt their approach to effectively guide their teams, improve collaboration, and achieve goals. The model emphasizes emotional intelligence, promoting self-awareness and responsiveness to team needs for better leadership outcomes.
