Democratic Leadership Style

Democratic leadership is collaboration, shared decision making and valuing everyone’s input at every level. This style is open and encourages everyone to contribute ideas and opinions that shape the organisation. Unlike autocratic leadership where decisions are made by one person, democratic leaders empower their teams so everyone has a voice.
This isn’t just theory. Nelson Mandela, Tim Cook and Larry Page are all examples of democratic leadership in action, creating spaces where innovation and inclusivity happen.
