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!

✒️ Which leadership style did you score the highest for?
My browser unfortunately crashed and given how removed the quiz was from my own leadership experience, I did not feel comfortable or interested enough to complete it.
As stated below, I do not agree or take the results of this quiz as Gospel as it is missing a lot of important context from my or any other individual's situation, it is too specific to corporate leadership.
✒️ Do you agree with this quiz?
No. This quiz is not based on a general leadership style, and does not cater to those who have never been leaders in a corporate context, such as a student organisation, non-profit organisation etc. where the leadership goals and responsibilities differ greatly. There should be specific quizzes offered to cater to those at different levels and areas of leadership to allow them to get a better idea of the leadership style.
