Policymaking requires productive and inclusive public engagement.
Just about everyone has an opinion on what is Leadership, what it entails and how they might see themselves as one. Every single one of us imagines our own self as a Leader of some sort from time to time, even if we never admit it openly. Every self-imagined vision will usually involve a vision of greatness, of success, of privilege. Most never consider the weight of responsibility and the necessity to balance competing interests to find a solution that brings the most benefits to the greatest number of constituents.
That need to find balance is the reason policymakers will find great value in productive and inclusive public engagement. It also the reason why policymaking works best when it is driven by common sense and the common good.
