|
The Pacesetting Leadership Style was first described by Daniel Goleman in 2002 as one of his six leadership styles. The pacesetting leaders set very high performance standards for themselves and the followers and exemplifies the behavior they is seeking from other members of the group. The pacesetting leader either gives little or no feedback on how the followers are doing except to jumps in to take over when the followers seem to be lagging.
The pacesetting leadership style works best when followers are self-motivated and highly skilled. For example, when a group has been functioning together as an effective team and the leader needs to step up the pace of the group for an important project.
