Please copy and paste your Academic Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs). These can be found on the main webpage for your degree program; you may also notice them on course syllabi and other guiding documents. These are crucial for you as a student to know, as they outline the core knowledge that you will have after completing your degree program. *
What is your position as a student leader?*
Daniel Goleman created the concept of "Emotional Leadership Styles." There are six leadership styles: Authoritative, Coaching, Affiliative, Democratic, Coercive, and Pacesetting. Overall, Authoritative, Coaching, Affiliative, and Democratic styles are associated with positive outcomes, while coercive and pacesetting styles may be less effective. However, all styles may be needed in certain circumstances.

Effective student leaders are aware of their own leadership styles, and take steps to develop these six styles, diversifying their toolbox of leadership strategies.

Take this quiz to find out what leadership styles you are strongest in, and which you might want to further develop: Goleman Leadership Quiz
