Introduction

Democratic leadership is a style of leadership where leaders involve

their team members in the decision-making process. This approach
fosters a sense of shared responsibility and allows team members to
participate in the organization's or group's decision-making processes.
In a democratic leadership style, the leader encourages open
communication, participation, and the sharing of ideas and opinions
from all team members. This collaborative environment can lead to a
more engaged and motivated team, as individuals feel valued and
respected for their contributions.

 In a small business meeting, the team leader presents a
challenge the company is facing and encourages each team
member to contribute potential solutions. Everyone is given
the opportunity to share their ideas, and the leader listens
attentively to each suggestion. After discussing the pros and
cons of various options, the team collectively decides on a
course of action, taking into account the input provided by all
members. The final decision reflects a consensus of the
team's diverse perspectives and expertise, leading to a
solution that everyone feels invested in and committed to
implementing.
