Pacesetting leader is style of leadership when a leader leads from the front, constantly sets high standards for their team and expects them to exceed with minimal management. As a pacesetting leader you resemble Steve Jobs, businessman, designer, investor known for his career as chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Inc.

Pacesetting leadership style is expecting excellence and quick results from highly competent team. However, being as headstrong and as demanding as Jobs as a leader is not unnecessary for successful management.
