Tne other point about political will. Leaders lead. They assign importance to an objective and rally people to follow them. I had to do this in my own household. Any head of state has the same ability. They just have to have their priorities set to care about others under their watch.

OF, no, they don't all have that ability. History is replete with leaders who were unable to lead their own people in the direction that they desired. Consider France in 1940. Often times it isn't really the fault of the leader, but rather the led. FDR clearly knew that the USA needed to support the democracies against Hitler, but the isolationist sentiment prevented him from taking the country where we needed to go. Had Japan not solved his problem, God alone knows what would have happened. If you can do it, great, but it isn't a given by any means.
