The effectiveness of a country's leaders is best measured by examining the well-being of that country's citizens.

Growth is always dependent on direction and with proper direction, it can attain new heights else it becomes a game of chance. And so for a nations growth its leaders are responsible for providing the required direction. Hence although an effective leader is the key for the well-being of its citizens, judging his/her effectiveness solely on these factors seems too vague due to the following reasons.
First, the leader of the nation is usually an elected official for a fixed tenure (given the exception of monarchs, dictators or officials who are elected for a lifetime). In this tenure the leader may envision a lot of development plans and the execution of these plans may take longer than the leaders tenure. Take for example, construction of a nationwide transportation grid to connect all the cities. It would boost the nations logistic infrastructure and would eventually benefit the country’s economy. However, such a massive scale project might take decades to be completed, in such a case, for the effect of such a project to reflect on the citizens welfare would take a long time and its success wouldn't be a attributed to the official who envisioned it.
Secondly, is it not at times of hardship that a need of an effective leader truly emerges? Consider the case of pre-independence India. Under the British rule, while trade with other countries existed and normal life of the citizens were present, they were not independent. At such a time, a once in a lifetime leader - Mahatma Gandhi rose to fulfil India's need for independence. He started movements such as non-violence and boycott of all foreign goods which lead to trade being brought to a standstill. Despite its citizens not being in a well-to-do situation, Mahatma Gandhi is still considered a great leader for his perseverance in difficult times and laying the foundation for India’s independence. And so, it can be inferred that the current well-being of citizens can't be the primary measure of the leaders effectiveness.
In conclusion, although the decisions of a leader have a direct effect on the well-being of its citizens, considering it as the primary measure of the leader’s leadership is flawed. A leader must be evaluated on his vision for the nation.
