MY RESPONSE:-

 

A leader is lauded based upon the decisions and the choices they make . A leader alone cannot be the reason for the success but if a leader makes a wrong decision , then he can be a reason for the downfall. It is evident that people who put forward their subordinates for their honest opnion and are open to feedback , prove to be the best leaders. This passage supports the prompt and provides enough evidences along with examples to hold the position.

To begin , in this contemporary world, the best leaders out there are not the ones who only focus on their schemes and want to hear their praise . Instead , they put themselves in the shoes of people and think from their perspective. They also listen to the feedback and focus on improving to fill the gaps.

For example, in eariier times , the monarchy was only responsible for the kingdom to flourish , the decisions made by the King and his Ministers demanded unquestionable obedience from the public, which many a times ,is evident from the history, proved to be the downfall of the kingdom as the authority was reticent towards honest opinion and used to be surrounded by sycophants. But ,nowadays , the countries are reformed into democratic nations , only being the reason to provide public an importance to choose their leaders through elections which provides the power to the citizens , continuous feedback from the citizens and making the leaders the better ones.

Another example could be supposingly a team ,completing a project ,which comprises of a team lead and other members. A good team leader would ask his subordinates their perspective and open to speak , for the improvisations and improvements wherever necessary as sometimes a different perspective is needed to think out of the box for betterment.

To summarize , the best leaders are the ones who encourage their people to provide them feedback which can be supported by the example in a country, leaders getting feedback at the time of introduction to various well-fare schemes amongst the people and the difficulties faced while implementing those schemes and are those tactics actually helping them or not, or choosing a government based upon their previous work would also indicate that the citizens are satisfied with the work of their leaders.
