(link: "Healthcare")[\
[[Healthcare worker|End of Game Leader]]:
Healthcare workers range in specialty but one thing is common to all of them - helping people get better. Almost all healthcare workers pursue higher education or technical programs. As healthcare workers usually work in teams, leadership skills can help them provide the best care to their patients by ensuring their teams are fully invested.
Examples: Surgeons, general practitioners, dentists, doctors, mental health counselors]
(link: "Engineer")[\
[[Engineer|End of Game Leader]]:
Engineers apply science and mathematics to solve real-world problems such as designing and building cars, buildings, airplanes, and computers. Many engineers go to college, but some may choose to pursue an apprenticeship or a technical bootcamp instead to gain skills. Working in groups is a given in almost any engineering field, so leadership skills can help them ensure their team is working smoothly and efficiently
Examples: computer , mechanical (anything that moves!), civil (buildings, roads, bridges), chemical (water treatment, food science, and even makeup!), electrical.]
(link: "Educator")[\
[[Educator|End of Game Leader]]:
Educators seek to spread information and knowledge about a wide array of topics. This can be done by being a formal professor at a school or college, or by creating educational content and providing it on the internet or selling it as a book. Leadership skills can help educators teach other people, correct mistakes, and encourage growth.
Examples: teachers, professors, nonfiction authors, bloggers, streamers.]
(link: "Entrepreneur")[\
[[Entrepreneur|End of Game Leader]]:
Entrepreneurs are those that pursue to make a business by selling services or products. This category is very broad and can also include those who work their way up a company and attain a leadership position. It takes a lot of people to run a business, so leadership skills help entrepreneurs make sure everything is organized and employees are working as a team.
Examples: small business owners, CEOs of large corporations, managers. ]
(link: "Artist")[\
[[Artist|End of Game Leader]]:
Artists use their creative talent to enrich the world. They perform or create on their own or as part of a team. In team based art such as theater, orchestra, or movie making, leadership skills can help artists ensure that the whole team is working together on the same artistic vision. But even solo artists like painters or authors need leadership skills when it comes time to share their art with the world.
Examples: performance art (actor, dancer, etc.), visual art (painter, sculptor, graphic designer), author, director. ]
(link: "Researcher")[\
[[Researcher|End of Game Leader]]:
Researchers are very broad, for every field needs to be backed up by research. This means your “traditional” scientists, but also includes those interested in learning more about fields like history, economics, and public opinion. All of the other careers listed here had researchers there to support them. If there’s a subject, someone’s researched it! Nearly all researchers work in groups, so leadership skills can help them organize their team and work well with others.
Examples: chemist, biologist, physicist, archaeologist, historian, etc.]
(link: "Public Servant")[\
[[Public Servant|End of Game Leader]]:
A public servant usually works for the government, or an agency funded by the government. They ensure that public demands are met, laws are followed, and people in need are taken care of. Public servants are part of government, and are also our elected leaders, so leadership skills are very important for them to have.
Examples: politicians, public defenders, social workers, police, first responders, non-profit workers (government funded), case workers.]

Feminist leaders strive for fairness and justice when making important decisions. Feminism means that you believe in social, political, and economic equality regardless of gender. This type of leader takes the importance of different identities into account: race, gender, sexual orientation, and ability. Feminist leaders use their power for good, ensuring diversity and human rights in their communities. The choices made by feminist leaders are always informed by their focus on empowerment and social change.
Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist who has worked for equal educational opportunities for girls worldwide. Her organization, the Malala Fund, helps girls living in areas of conflict receive a quality education. Angela Davis is a former Black Panther and political activist who has worked to change the way we see the prison system in the US. Dr. Davis is a professor of African American Studies and Feminism at the University of California, San Diego. Tarana Burke founded the #MeToo movement in 2006 to combat gender-based violence.

You are a transformational leader! Your leadership style is most similar to Oprah Winfrey, Lisa Su, and Lynsi Snyder.
Oprah Winfrey is a renowned American talk show host, actress, producer, author, and philanthropist. She was the founder and the host of the highest-rated television program, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” for more than two decades. As one of the richest females in her industry, she is also one of the most benevolent. Lisa Su is a Taiwanese American business executive and electrical engineer. Dr. Su is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). She continues to lead AMD to a bright and bold future by “pursuing leading-edge technologies that change the world” (Su). Lynsi Snyder is an American billionaire businesswoman, she is the current owner and heiress of the fast food chain company, In-N-Out Burger Company.
Transformational leaders are collaborators, innovators, and listeners. Transformational leaders lead by example, thereby gaining their team’s trust and increasing their followers' morale. They value insight from their followers and ensure goals are reached with collective efficacy and input.

You are a transactional leader! Your leadership style is most similar to Dawn Staley and C. Vivian Stringer, both of whom are well-renowned sports coaches. Transactional Leaders work in a top-down, hierarchical way and use specific methods to motivate their followers towards their goal. While working in a dominant position, transactional leaders often use a reward and punishment method and establish their specific rules in the group. Transactional leadership tends to focus more on managing the performance of the followers and leans more on being a “telling” leadership style.
Dawn Staley, former WNBA player and US Olympian for the women’s USA basketball team she made history after being the second African American to lead a women’s basketball to a national championship. Staley is currently the head coach for USA’s Women’s National Basketball Team.
C. Vivian Stringer is the Head Coach of Womens’ Basketball for Rutgers University, with one of the best records in women's basketball.

(if: $dm_tally's laissez_faire is $var_tally OR $var_tally is "laissez_faire")[\
You are a laissez-faire leader! Your leadership style is most similar to Tyi McCray and Andrea Mallard. Laissez-faire leaders work by taking a step back and letting their team make the big decisions. Laissez-faire leaders are easygoing and usually don't try to influence the group unless they are asked to. This leadership style gives group members a sense of freedom and ownership of their own work. Problems can occur, however, when team members don’t feel supported or are confused about their roles.
Some notable people that are Laissez Faire leaders are Tyi McCray and Andrea Mallard, who currently hold high positions in Pinterest. Tyi McCray after being a Cornell University graduate and having held positions that assured diversity, and inclusion, joined Pinterest in 2020 as the Global Head of Diversity and Inclusion in 2020. Andrea Mallard serves as the Chief Marketing Officer for Pinterest, with past experience being CMO for Athleta, a women’s apparel sports brand.
