Democratic Leadership Style
Democratic leadership involves participative decision-making that is collaborative, respectful, and empowering. Its strength is promoting team building; its weakness is potential for poor decision-making when relying too heavily on inexperienced team members (Faubion, 2024).
Impact on Relationship Dynamics
Democratic leadership fosters shared decision-making, open communication, and empowerment. It embraces diversity in opinions during conflicts, promoting creativity and inclusivity (Alnajjar & Abou Hashish, 2022).
