"Philosophies of leadership are determined by beliefs about human nature."
- This means, how you determine a leader is based on your personal perspective on human nature. If you have a Lockain view of human nature then your beliefs about a leader will be different then that of a person with a Hobbian view of human nature. It all depends on what philosophies you believe in the most. Human nature is tied into leadership because the way we all act, including the leader, is based on our true human nature. An example of this philosophy is when, in Disney's Sleeping Beauty, Prince Philip acts on his bravery, which reflects his human nature, to protect Princess Aurora . He becomes a leader through his human nature.
"The governed have a responsibility for their governance."
-This quote means that the citizens have a say in how they are ruled and/or governed. They citizens have a right to know how and why they are being governed and to know whether their god given rights are being protected. The ruler or government should be willing to listen to the people and understand what the need, if the leaders do not do this, the people are aloud to speak out against them. Example of a well established government that listens to the people is the United States democratic government.
"Human Nature does not determine our actions,: it inclines us towards us towards certain actions."
- I think this means human nature does not determine what we do but leads us to act a certain way. If you believe in a more Lockian way of thinking, then you will probably act a different way the a Hobbian thinker, but not always. Sometimes our human nature does not play a part in our lives and we act very differently then we usually would. Take King Triton, from little mermaid, for example. He usually acts harsh and mean, but in the end, acts totally out of character by being nice and excepting.
