Knowing Democratic Style of Leadership

Abraham Lincoln’s, the 16th president of the United States of America in 1862 came out with a declaration which abolished slavery in the USA. It officially came to be known as The Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of The United States of America. Ending slavery was a historic move and undebatedly a noble one. Though you would find it interesting to note that Abraham Lincon allowed months of discussion and debate in his cabinet regarding this move. It was after a prolonged debate that he came out with a proclamation. This inclusive decision making, the process of hearing every one out was his way which signified a democratic leadership. Abraham Lincon would surround himself with such persons who were extraordinarily capable, people of intelligence who would disagree with him and would challenge his assumptions.

Such a participative approach and making everyone feel heard are a few common characteristics of democratic leadership style.
