According to research on gender and leadership, individuals who possess traits such as independence, confidence, ambition, objectivity, dominance, and forcefulness are considered to have agentic traits.

Therefore, Steven would be considered an agentic leader, and given that his agentic traits are positive (e.g., confident, ambitious), most people would consider him a good leader.
