Good leadership is accepted as a critical success factor in improving governance and better development outcomes. Yet, there is considerable debate about what constitutes good leadership. Good leadership has two dimensions - a moral dimension, enjoining leaders to "do the right thing, the right way, for the right reason," and an effectiveness dimension, that is technical competence. How important are each of these dimensions? What does history tell us about the relative weight of ethics and effectiveness in defining a good leader? Which of these dimensions is critical for good governance in developing countries?
