Imagine you're playing with your friends on the playground, and each friend has a different way to get everyone excited, that's what Brian Tracy is talking about when he explains 5 different types of leadership styles.
Like Different Playground Leaders
- The Coach Leader is like the person who shouts instructions during a game so you all know exactly what to do next.
- The Mentor Leader is like your big brother or sister who shows you how to play a new game, step by step.
- The Inspirational Leader is like the friend who jumps in and makes everyone laugh, so you all want to keep playing.
- The Visionary Leader is like the kid who draws a cool map of where they're going next, it helps everyone imagine what’s coming.
- The Transformational Leader is like the friend who says, “What if we made our own game?” and gets everyone excited about making something new.
Each leader has their own way to get you all moving, just like how different friends can make a playground feel extra fun!
Examples
