Importance of Political LeadershipFirst of all, no matter what the political system is? Political leadership has always played a vital role. But the question is why?

There is an impact of leadership in every department of a nation like sovereignty, economics, education, military system, technology and so on.

Leadership in SovereigntySovereignty is one of the basics to be called an independent nation both in internal or external affairs. it’s impossible for a nation to survive without sovereignty, so a man of vision is needed for any nation. In the New World, Pope Alexander VI decreed the division of the Americas by Spain and Portugal, so that the wealth of gold, silver and jewels could be allocated. But these countries were soon overtaken by the French and English in North America. The founders of the USA incited the colonists to rebel against taxation by the British monarchy. The Revolutionary War established the United States as a democracy, with its own political sovereignty.

And political leaders have directly influenced this development. Political stability can ensure a nation’s economic growth. For example, when it’s election our political stability become unstable because there is no political leader and now we can see the impact from this figure.

Leadership in education Education is the backbone of a

nation. The more educated people, the more develop happens in a nation. And many political leaders have their influence in education time to time.

In 1909, the Sardars, eminent citizens who were appointed by Nawab Sir Salimullah to maintain law and order in different parts of Dhaka city brought to him the sad plight of orphans in the city to which he responded immediately by establishing an orphanage next to his own residence.

Leadership in technology
