Students should be able to identify these behaviors easily and will most likely focus on environments that allow their most preferred interaction and leadership style to be used. For example, students with an Enabling Leadership style would find an environment that is open, friendly, helpful, considerate, supportive, trusting, and humanitarian-based most motivating. Exception leaders would look for clarity, opportunity for economy, supportive of individual rights, reliable, organized, time to explore options in their group. Leadership by Consensus focuses on involving, encouraging, sociable, democratic, interactive, being heard and listening environment. Everyone's motivation and self worth can be met if the environment allows.
