Does leadership improve societies?

Leadership not only improves societies but also acts as a profound source of development at any scale- large or small. A close look at all the transformational changes in history for the betterment of any society, social or economical group, country, tells us that social transformation happens through leadership.

Most often, the path set by leaders towards a transformational goal prove really helpful in directing development. This path provides followers with all the necessary information, support and other resources necessary to achieve their goals. That said, context is a huge driving factor for the success of any leadership towards directive development and improvement. And this in turn accounts for the differences in leadership styles and their effectiveness across countries and cultures.

Differentiated leadership strategies over the decade have proved effective in terms of bringing about development and improvements in different ways, be it economically, socially or morally for different societies. For instance if we are to consider education reforms there is always a list of visionaries and reformers we can identify with respect to driving and leading such changes.The same applies to economic reforms as well. We can different schools of thoughts around each of these domains which prove the eminence in leadership across these domains.
