Why Do Some Countries Have More Than One Leader?

Imagine a school where one teacher is in charge of everything, like choosing what to eat for lunch and when the break happens. Now imagine another school that has teachers who each decide on their own rules, but they also work together. Some countries are like the first school, with one leader making all the decisions. Others are like the second school, where multiple leaders share the power, like in a team.
