Leadership and Democracy
Leadership is the ability to guide, influence, and inspire a group toward common goals, making decisions and providing direction. Democracy is a system of governance where members participate actively in decision-making, typically through voting, ensuring that authority derives from the people. Together, effective leadership within a democratic framework involves leaders respecting citizens’ rights, listening to diverse opinions, and making informed decisions that reflect the collective will. It promotes accountability, transparency, and shared responsibility, balancing individual freedoms with the group's interests to foster a fair and functional society.
