Question
Which leadership style is characterized by a leader who
sets extremely high standards for performance, exemplifies them personally and is most effective with a highly motivated, expert team, but can lead to burnout if used long-term?Solution
The Pacesetting leadership style, famously identified by Daniel Goleman, is defined by a leader who leads by example by setting an extremely high bar for performance. It is most effective when the team is already highly motivated and competent, as these experts can keep up with the leader's intensity. However, because this style emphasizes "do as I do, now," it can quickly overwhelm employees, stifle development, and cause significant burnout if sustained over the long term. It works best during a sprint or a crisis but is unsustainable as a permanent culture. Note - Pacesetting leadership is different from transformational leadership as it drives rapid results through high-performance standards and intense personal modeling, while transformational leadership inspires long-term change, innovation, and collective growth.
