Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kathleen's behaviors of providing coaching and affiliating with her followers are characteristic of transformational leadership, which focuses on inspiring and motivating followers to reach their full potential. This is different from transactional leadership, which operates on a reward/punishment basis, middle-of-the-road leadership which is characterized by a lack of strong leadership style, and S4 in situational leadership which is a high directive and high supportive leadership style intended for highly competent followers.
