In Daniel Goleman’s Six Leadership Styles, he explains each style as coercive, pace-setting, authoritative, affiliative, democratic, and coaching. In my experience a leader can be all of those styles, depending on the presented situation. For example, we use coaching daily if we have Soldiers within our ranks to coach, teach and mentor them on the Army
