A hereditary leader is an individual who inherits their position of authority or leadership, typically based on family lineage or royal descent. This form of leadership is often seen in monarchies, where titles and power are passed down through generations. Unlike elected leaders, hereditary leaders usually do not gain their positions through popular vote or appointment, but rather through birthright. Examples include kings, queens, and other nobles in various cultures around the world.
