"Organizational democracy is freedom within a business framework. It is both an organizational strategy for companies and a leadership style. It is achieved when a company uses the principles of democracy to design the way it operates daily, cultivating a company that enhances employee potential, thereby achieving its business goals and positively impacting the community." (From the WorldBlu website).
