History shows moral character is not necessary for effectively leading people.

Oh. yeah people will follow charismatic people for the vibes even if it leads to moral decay and death.
I think it's just innate to humanity at this point :(

Yes in the short term, especially if it’s a small group of people being led. 

But imo it always comes with long term costs that either those people have to pay, or their children, or people outside of the group. And the costs could have been avoided.
