Topic: Leadership and Economics - page 7. (Read 2307 times)

: All the revolutions that have happened from the Stone Age to today's modern age have happened at the hands of a leader. So I think there is no substitute for proper leadership for the economic development of a country. Because only a leader can show the right direction in the right path and bring it to the threshold of development.

So I would never want to say in this case that a leader has promised you or the people of a country how much development he will do and whether he did it later is not the main issue for me now. Since I am talking about leadership and economy, we have to admit that only a leader can lead a country, a nation or even a state to the path of economic progress through proper guidance or to keep the wheels of economic progress moving.

You cannot possibly be part of the team that decides the affairs of the country. You thus have very little role to play here and let the government decide how the country progresses. We tend to have our own opinions as to how the economy should grow and all but these are all short-sighted thoughts unable to see the big picture we make such comments and it seems as though the government is doing it wrong - they are not, still its tough to make the common people understand.

A good working government will influence the people whom they govern, and thus a good leader will leave an impression of the people they lead.

Economic growth with lots of bad consequences to the world can't be said to be Good Economic growth neither should you call the leader that creates the growth the Right Leader.
Such growth is bad for the world as it creates lots of problems. An Economic Growth that does not create problems is Good Economic Growth.  What nation on earth has that kind of economy? I can assure you none of them. Their economics grow like cancer that end up killing the body or its host. Besides, it's not sustainable and not healthy for people.

An economy grown by the right leader will grow in sustainable manner. No product of the economy will be harmful to consumers or the world.. There will be little to no waste as they will be used efficiently, recycled, reused, repurposed, etc. The natural resources or raw materials for making the products wont be mined more often and will last longer where they are sourced from . Money making won't be a priority or at the detriment of society.

By the way, a society that achieves a Good Economic growth will likely be living a really humble life. There will be no luxuries, no self-indulgence, no unnecessary products, etc. Things like vehicles will be shared while the owners right is respected. Abundant or excess foods will be givenaway for free.

Yes, but a good environment will influence the person to be better, different from a bad environment.
The decision is in your hands, but the environment has a big influence on a person's life.

If we are honest with ourselves that is what elections boils down to, very rarely you will find a good candidate to become the president of a country, since those candidates are filtered by those in power as they do not want a leader that has too many of their own ideas or they will become difficult to control.

So very often someone that is easy to control and manipulate is the one that ends up as the leader of a country, and it is obvious such a person cannot lead their country to any kind of greatness.

We actually should not undermine the power of good leadership. A good leader with his team can turn a country that is not working to one of the best countries using the available resources and manpower. But in the other hand a bad leader can destroy the destiny and the future of an endowed country. That being said, we could also see a good leader leading a country very well while some citizens in the country are still extremely poor. A leader in the national status does not provide food in the kitchen of all her citizens rather he provides enabling environment for small scale businesses to strive in order to affect the whole economy positively.

Some of the leaders of the African countries are not doing the right thing while on power and yet they would still want to live forever being in the office. To a point they would share the whole political posts both appointed and elected positions to them and their character members and even to their generation such that the cycle of power and corruption revolves around them and in their neighborhood. This is the reason why African nations are not developing because their leaders are just in tandem with their foreign counterparts exploiting the nations in Africa.

Oh I 100 percent agree that the right leader makes the largest impact! Look at Trump vs Biden Presidential terms and its night and day lol I mean this stuff is common sense though. I really hope that the USA gets Trump back! Biden has lost it.

A good and firm leader will always have the right solution to deal with the problems in his country, even the saddest way, they will definitely use it to make the work program that he and his staff are running a success.
The easiest example we can see is Nayib Bukele, he is a highly respected presidente in El Salvador, many people oppose him, but he continues to have the best way to solve the problem, he even made Bitcoin one of the legal tenders in El Salvador, this is It was a tough decision but he succeeded in doing it and El Salvador has now gone down in history.

Having a good leader is not something the world has seen in a long long time. I guess the last good leader was Merkel from what I have seen but even she got a lot of hatred, so there doesn't seem to be any leader that made their nation better in a long time.

The whole world, no matter which nation, has been picking the leader that is least worst one, you look all candidates and you pick the one that is still bad, but just not as bad as the other ones. That is why it's quite difficult thing to do. I believe that the world is not really all that sunshines and rainbows, it has to be something that would get a lot of attention with time, but that will not be all that simple, it will certainly take some time for us to reach that level of leadership one day.

Let's assume a country which has the ideal leader of all qualities that you think is needed for a leader but the economic structure is poorly constructed and people under the government are corrupted then the country is going nowhere.

So, my point is it requires everyone's efforts to bring the growth financially because change in a scale that we are talking only possible when everyone is contributing to it and ofcourse someone who can show the right path for others indeed but you want to know the reality that kind of ruling will never be possible with the democracy.

The problem most countries are having in regard to their economic system is bad leadership, bad leadership has affected many nation badly to the extent that some nations economic if faced with high level of inflation, politic around the world has done more harm than good to the economy of the world, most political leaders doesn't value people that are not in their cartel or people that was nominated to them by their political gods father, lack of technocratic in the system has brought so many lapses in governance, so if we must get it right in the aspect political office should be given on merit also the economic team of a country should be graded from time to time by the citizens for them to be effective.

A leader who prioritizes streamlining bureaucratic processes and implementing policies that directly benefit the majority of people can indeed make a significant difference in the lives of citizens. The "one door" program you mentioned sounds like a fantastic initiative, simplifying procedures and reducing red tape for individuals seeking permits or assistance. By centralizing services and eliminating unnecessary hurdles, such policies not only improve efficiency but also enhance accessibility and transparency, ultimately benefiting society as a whole.

Continuity in policies that prioritize the welfare of citizens can contribute to stability and progress in the long term. Citizens to remain engaged and informed, advocating for leadership that upholds the values of inclusivity, accountability, and service to the people. Citizens can help ensure that their country continues on a path of positive development and prosperity by actively participating in the democratic process and holding leaders accountable.

I agree with this, great leaders produce great policies, great policies will benefit the majority of people. I am grateful to live in a country with a great leader, he was a carpenter who became president, but his ability to manage the country was extraordinary. The policy I like the most is the "one door" program. In the past, if we wanted to take care of permits, we had to visit a lot of rooms, it was too complicated, too many steps, but now just by saying what you need up front, the problem is resolved, money policies don't apply and it's very difficult because everything is done at "one door" . There are still many of his policies that side with the people, I am happy, but unfortunately this year he will finish his term as president. Hopefully our next president will be like him, at least continuing his good policies.

A good economic Leadership is the ability to guide, inspire, and influence others towards a common goal or vision. Effective leaders possess a combination of traits and  skill.
Should have a clear vision of where they want to go and are able to articulate it to others inspiring them to work the same objectives.

Effective communication is essential for leaders to convey their vision provide guidance listen to feedback and foster collaboration among team members how to transaction about business.

Leaders demonstrate honesty, transparency and consistency in their actions earning the trust and respect of their followers.Able to make timely and informed decisions, even in uncertain or challenging situations. while considering the input of others when appropriate.

Inspire and motivate others through their passion, and commitment to excellence encouraging team members to perform at their best.

A leader is a significant value with the potential capacities to moderates, governs and implements organizational productive infrastructures.
A leader is an influencer who posseses reputable personalities because he stands to be the sole proprietorship to piloting the organization in achieving a desired goal as demanded.

The leadership of a country also lies in the system adopted by the country itself, so the leader is also not very free in carrying out his duties to bring about real change for the prosperity of his people. In general, all leaders still want the people they lead to be prosperous, but policy really determines that success. I see that if a leader is able to revive the domestic economy, the country will be one step ahead and that leader will also have bargaining value in the eyes of other leaders.

A charismatic leader can turn a nation into a super power. A leader needs to be brave, farsighted and diplomatic to build his nation. Without a leader a nation is like a unguided mob who don't know what to do. So for economic development leadership is important. Just look at how a country like japan became so well developed even they are low in natural resources. Malaysia and Vietnam can be a great example of that to show how leadership can change a countries economy.

Everyone agrees a good leader can make or break a country's economy, but what makes a leader "good" with money? Is it like, having a brain the size of a financial textbook, or can they just hire a whiz-kid advisor and call it a day?

Some say a leader needs to be a financial guru, understanding every twist and turn of the economy. Sure, knowledge is power, but let's be honest, nobody knows it all. A good leader, even if they're not an economics whiz, knows how to build a strong team with diverse expertise. It's like having a rock band - you need a solid drummer, a killer guitarist, and maybe even a keyboardist for those fancy tunes.

Sure, a growing economy is cool, but it shouldn't just benefit the super rich, right? A good leader knows it's about fairness, making sure everyone gets a slice of the pie, not just the folks at the fancy tables. This means fighting income inequality, giving everyone a shot at success, and maybe even throwing some social programs into the mix to help those who need it most.

leaders not only have good leadership that is good for the development of a region or country. because in your writing about leadership in government. but leadership alone is lacking must have high creativity so that the policies and regulations issued can develop a good business climate economy and the welfare of its people is well achieved.
