Leadership is the defining point of any organization, country etc leadership determine how organized a people are infact the difference between two states all boil down to leadership if those in leadership position lacks the charisma to pilot the affairs of a country, organization, corporation it will definitely reflect on the general productivity of the organization

Totally agree with you, because do you know the nation of Brazil took the International Monetary Fund(IMF) loan like many other nations?  However, Brazil paid the price by committing to going into technology for the next twenty years. While others who took the loans were dying in poverty, Brazil came up on top. Why? It's because their good leaders paid the price for the nation. Today, Brazil manufacturing cars, aircraft, etc. that nation has made a good sacrifice of twenty years during which they paid their debts and turned their country around today. I'm trying to tell you what some right leaders did to turn their citizen life's around for good. So definitely good leaders can make life as a citizen, comfortable.

So you also know what Singapore did? People talking about Singapore today. The country some forty~something years ago was one of the beggary countries of the world, they were so poor that poor nations called them poor! Their situation was so bad. So what did Singapore do to change their financial situation? Singapore began to invest heavily into the educational sector of their nation. The investment was so much that over time they began to break through in major areas of information technology (IT) and science. Today, Singapore is one the world's best and most viable economies. Why? It was because the good leaders made the sacrifice for the citizens. I'm trying to show to you what a right leader can make to a life as citizen. Their good ones at there but the bad ones won't let them come up to show case there changes and impact there good things to the citizens. Will still have one person, Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for the twenty~six years for the sake of the country's freedom. He paid the price that others were afraid to pay and became the greatest African leader in the world. So I totally agree with you the right leader can make a life as a citizen, businessman or an investor comfortable for good.

I'm of the opinion that each person should be the leader of his own life. When you rely and put too much expectations on other people you end frustrating yourself. That is what happens in our countries nowadays where people put all their hopes on politicians, bosses, religious preachers as they were the final solution for their lives. And since expectations are never meet, they end frustrated, demotivated and grumpy towards everyone and everything.

And in third world countries it happens more frequently, because people are more dependent on leaders (especially on messianic figures who use manipulative tactics to gain power and influence). These countries are actually a good example of how trusting leaders doesn't bring comfort, welfare, prosperity and development. Instead of trusting leaders, people should trust themselves, or their true potential which can allow them to improve personal skills. That is how evolved socities conquered the positions they occupy right now.

Leaders have an important role of mediating a society, but that role is secondary when compared to the role each citizen should have as protagonist of his own life!

Leadership and policy are multi-faceted, making the question of how to solve this serious issue a significant one for the US economy, which is facing high debt levels. The problem cannot be avoided but can only be eliminated through proactive and coordinated actions.

To begin with, bringing the nation back to a sound financial footing requires strong leadership and a far-sighted vision. In their political agenda, leaders must view this problem as a crucial one and address its immediate solution. Additionally, economic policies that would ensure sustainable economic growth should be based on wisdom rather than populism. This includes enhancing the tax architecture so that citizens can enjoy better government revenues without any extra burden. Equally important in curbing the budget deficit is maintaining control over government spending.

The final step is to ensure that the decision-making process involves the local community. Government transparency and accountability, particularly in financial management, will help in gaining public trust and support for such necessary decisions.

Therefore, the synergy between the leader and the people who are led must be in line because the vision and mission that the government will carry out will not work if in the end the community does not want to follow it and it is a difficult situation to do because after all every head must have different thoughts which will result in pros and cons in it but that's a good thing because with the pros and cons we can take the middle point as a conclusion so that the government can carry out its duties properly and the people who are led are not burdened with the regulations in the government that occur.

If in the end this system is developed, it is indeed possible that a country or government will advance in the end but indeed to create it requires considerable sacrifice in the end.

OK, I respect your view that elected leaders in two regions have no obligation to make the lives of their citizens comfortable, but isn't the reason we elect a leader to make our lives comfortable?

with great resources and power, an elected leader of a region must be able to carry out his leadership well, let's take the example of Singapore or other strong countries such as China, we all know that these two countries have extraordinary leaders, have political conditions who is stable and one-hearted, and firm

prices of basic necessities, salary costs, exports/imports all come from the political decisions of an elected regional leader

Of course, this must be able to involve various groups in order to achieve satisfactory results for everyone, because if you only rely on a few people, of course it is very difficult to get results that satisfy everyone and to be able to implement the applicable rules, of course. Of course, existing laws must be able to be implemented indiscriminately so that when someone thinks about breaking an applicable rule they still remember the consequences that will be obtained if they violate the rule and leaders must be able to set a good example for their citizens so that the applicable rules can be implemented. carried out well and does not look at who breaks the rules, but as a leader you must look at the violations committed and provide sanctions in accordance with the applicable rules.

An ideal situation indeed, it does not always happen like that. Because politics need everyone to be close to happy otherwise your leadership fails and hence you end up appeasing everyone and in turn nobody actually develops in the right direction. While there are people who avoid all that bullshit and work like a one mad army to drive the nation in a certain development, they dont last long even though their work is revered among the next generations.

Its not always the Frostpunk game, I am afraid.

Becoming a leader is not easy because we must have a vision and mission in developing the country. A leader has a big responsibility to ensure that his people live prosperously even though they have jobs in certain fields such as in ministries spread across all existing sectors.
Cement factories are a necessity in my area because infrastructure development is so rapid now and we have the raw equipment that can be processed, but they are not processed in our place.
Job absorption can also accommodate many people if a cement factory is built so that people have jobs. But unfortunately our government did not prioritize it so the cement factory failed to be built. That's why I say the government must have a clear vision in building because otherwise things that have almost been built will just disappear.

A Million Simulations, One Verdict for US Economy: Debt Danger Ahead
Bloomberg Economics ran a million forecast simulations on the US debt outlook. 88% of them show borrowing on an unsustainable path.

The Congressional Budget Office warned in its latest projections that US federal government debt is on a path from 97% of GDP last year to 116% by 2034 — higher even than in World War II. The actual outlook is likely worse.
From tax revenue to defense spending and interest rates, the CBO forecasts released earlier this year are underpinned by rosy assumptions. Plug in the market’s current view on interest rates, and the debt-to-GDP ratio rises to 123% in 2034. Then assume — as most in Washington do — that ex-President Donald Trump’s tax cuts mainly stay in place, and the burden gets even higher.

How can these problems be solved taking into account leadership and economics?

Yes, I agree because increasing economic growth requires policies, strategies and economic systems that are pro-community and designed systematically so that they can be comfortable. Therefore, to increase economic growth, leadership support is needed. Success and failure are greatly influenced by the leader's policies, namely how far the implementers plan, mobilize, motivate, direct and communicate in increasing economic growth. If the leader is not good, it will be very difficult for the economy to grow because the strategy and system will not work well.

Supposedly, these are the people driving things forward, but too often, they're the ones holding everything back. A leader without a clear vision is useless. They're just going in circles, wasting everyone's time. But that vision can't just be some pie-in-the-sky nonsense; it's gotta be something people actually benefit from. If the average person's life isn't improving, the whole thing's a failure

Now, let's talk about this cement factory mess in your province. This is textbook overregulation strangling progress. Listen, I understand some rules are necessary, but when you scare off businesses, you're not just losing one company. You're losing jobs, you're losing money the community needs, you're losing the chance to actually improve. Leadership's gotta be smarter than that. They gotta figure out how to create a healthy environment for business, without tying everyone up in red tape. Enough with the fancy speeches, we need to see results

There was a time when the economic system and politics in a country had nothing to do with each other. Then, John Maynard Keynes came up with his theory and suddenly the government became the backbone of a lot of Economies. Many Economists were against the theory propounded by John Maynard because they believed putting everything in the hands of the government was wrong. They believed individuals should make decisions and face the effects of those decisions and also government decisions weren't always all that.

The point I'm trying to make here is that government decisions affect the economy in this age, yeah? Whatever they say stands, so their leadership is very important. One of the most important under-looked stimulants of economic hardship is bad government that makes bad decisions for the country. And then, on the other hand, countries that enjoy good economies usually have good governments. I could give a few examples but that may not be in my place.

You’re right but don’t you think, A good leader would make sure there’s a level playing field for everyone.
setting in motion a healthy economical environment for every class of society, which in turn will improve the lives of everyone under his/her leadership from the poor to the rich.

The leader is the highest authority who makes policies and a leader who has a careful vision will have a good impact, especially for the people in it. Leaders must be able to see the future and their ideas will make things easier for the people in them and if the leader does not have a vision in developing the country then don't expect the people in it to prosper.
It will be much easier for investors to enter to develop several sectors when it is easy for leaders to do so and regulations that are too strict will make investors think about entering that country.

The province where I live for example and there are investors who are trying to build a cement factory with binding cooperation, but because they have to meet demands that are too heavy, they finally have to decide not to continue. Even though construction had begun and prohibitions and opposition from various parties made them terminate the contract.

Africa has huge potential of growth but its leaders and how its governments work, has only led its people to the worse. But situations are similar in most countries as well just the extent might differ.

That is why we have elections to decide which among all the possible leaders do the public want as a majority? But that is a topic for another debate. I am of the opinion that the country can do what it wants with its politics and all but leaving those aside, our own personal growth is what we should focus on.

Like buying bitcoin at the proper time, keeping education ongoing, learning new skills to put to the test. Forget the government, develop your own self.

There's nothing to agree or disagree about, the world needs leaders - at the very least to act as tie breakers between competing ideas. However there is a whole spectrum from terrible to fantastic, with a good leader knowing that there is something that they can improve on every single day. An interesting fact I remember reading one time, was that there are more psychopathic tendencies within leaders compared to other parts of society, but who knows if that is true. There is also an element out there who will move up the leadership ladder until they hit the limits of their incompetence. Either way, even average leaders can make a revolutionary difference in companies if they have a little bit of all the right ingredients.

The point is that in this case there must be several things that must be considered because indeed when you want to advance a good state system it cannot only be done from a few people but it must be based on all parties because no matter how good the leadership is and no matter how good the rules are, things like that will not be a reference if the citizens do not have full awareness of the rules that are carried out so that it will be a detrimental thing in the end such as some damage due to theft and so on but on the other hand with some influential people and having a high leadership spirit I think it can be another consideration because the citizens who are followers certainly follow the example of the leader in the end.

Off course there is a direct link between leadership and economic growth and development in any society

We in the third world can attest to to fact that the underdevelopment of Africa can be traced to the kind of leaders we have had so far

Leaders are those who lead and other follow so if you have a blind man as a leader, then your sure to fall into the pit

No, I do not agree that it is the duty of a country president or someone else to make the citizens leave comfortable. I think these remain for us, and this can be done by hard work. If we work hard, we don't have to depend on our government before we get what we want and leave comfortable because thinking of it as if the leader is supposed to be the one is just as if you depend on your government and they may fail you if that is what you want, so it is better to figure things out on your own. Remember, your leaders also have children and relatives, so before they think of doing it for other people, they will do it for the people close to them.
