Agentic Leadership
The article is extremely brief, including only a definition of agentic leadership. This article would benefit from additional information and applications of agentic leadership, such as different leadership roles it is associated with and how it impacts people of different demographics (race, sexuality, gender, and age). It could also be contrasted with other styles of leadership, such as communal, and discuss how our understandings of power align with agentic leadership. Finally, the article should discuss the various merits and downfalls of agentic leadership.

Communal Leadership
There is currently no Wikipedia article about communal leadership. Given the growing awareness about women's underrepresentation in politics, this is a key Wikipedia article to have. Most people typically view power as agentic leadership, and could benefit from learning more about other leadership styles (like communal) that they may more easily associate with/accept in women. This can also include examples of leaders who embrace communal leadership, or positions of power that are associated with communal leadership. Better understanding the merits of communal leadership is key to increasing people's acceptance of different leadership styles.

Mass Political Behavior
There is currently no Wikipedia page for mass political behavior. However, given the increasing awareness of the importance of civic engagement, and the growing pressure for citizens to be politically engaged, this is an important Wikipedia page to include. The page will define mass political behavior and delve into different types of mass political behavior. When describing different types of mass political behavior, the article should include the various advantages and disadvantages of that type of behavior, examples, and an explanation of the impact/importance of it. The article should also include how different demographics of people (age, race, gender, sexuality, etc.) engage in different forms of mass political behavior at differing rates, and other factors (personality, education, socioeconomic status, marital status) that can influence political behavior.
