I think leadership plays a crucial role in shaping the direction and economic success of a country or organisation. A visionary and effective leader is able to inspire and guide his or her team or people towards achieving sustainable economic goals. Strong leadership can create a stable business environment, encourage innovation and increase productivity. In addition, wise economic policies and decisions from leaders can provide support for economic growth, create jobs, and improve people's welfare. Therefore, the close relationship between leadership and the economy is key to forming a solid foundation for achieving prosperity and sustainable growth.
The prosperity of a country is clearly greatly influenced by a leader, that leader is not only able to maintain national stability but is also able to become a leader who has a strong influence at the international level. I really agree with your thoughts and I also need to add that the leader must also focus on strengthening the domestic economy so that the prosperity of his people can truly be realized. If the country's economy is strong then the bargaining power of the leader will also be very great.
The power of political leaders is heavily restrained, in order to reach their position they need to make a lot of compromises along the way, to the point that if they reach a position of power they cannot take any of the actions they may have liked as now they are tangled in a web of interests they cannot escape.
So people need to stop thinking that a political leader will be the one to make a big difference on their lives, and instead they need to find ways to achieve this on their own.
