The participatory leadership paradigm is
based on respect and engagement . It
constructively focuses energy in every
human to human encounter. A more
advanced, more democratic and more
effective model of leadership, it harnesses
diversity, builds community, and creates
shared responsibility for action. It deepensindividual and collective learning yielding
real development and growth.

people will say: we did itourselves.
