N2 - This chapter discusses the changing approach and attitudes of political leaders in Western liberal democracies. It discusses how the role of political leaders is wide-ranging, and how their power is being challenged by various forces. Politicians, practitioners and academics therefore increasingly talk of a move towards greater public input in government, requiring new political leadership strategies. The research draws on academic literature in political leadership, consultation, deliberation political market research (which discusses political leadership and public input), practitioner interviews, and on government and non-governmental documents. In doing so, it demonstrates that in political leadership there is a holistic new trend towards a more consultative approach to governance.
