Business Leader’s Guide to Democracy

Beyond the Buzzwords

From dark money to stakeholder capitalism, business leaders today are expected to know the terms and concepts being used in the civic space. Yet, when is the last time you learned about the difference between representative democracy and inclusive democracy? Probably a high school civics class, if you were lucky.

At Leadership Now, we worked with our nationwide network of business and thought leaders to create a guide to go beyond the buzz and help you understand the fundamentals of democratic systems, the basics of campaign finance, and common democracy threats like gerrymandering. We also provide insights on how businesses engage in politics and examples of innovations in democracy.

Have a question or proposed topic? Let us know! We update this guide frequently with feedback from leaders like you.
