The democratic leadership style is ineffective, when subordinates have which of the following characteristics?

When the subordinates have the characteristic of non-cooperation and lack interpersonal understanding, the democratic leadership style turns ineffective.

Explanation:

Running a democracy is only possible through utter cooperation not only among the like-minded people, but also among the people bearing conflicts of thoughts with each other. If there is no cooperation among the players running the democracy, the democracy ends up being a mess rather than being a convenient mean of governance. As every single player in the democracy is significant for the functioning of the democracy, it is necessary that there is harmony among all the players responsible for the running of democracy.
