Eh. A leader's personal characteristics have an important but surprisingly small impact on the thing led. There are a lot of examples of that (quite a high profile one playing out around the US president right now, for example). My usual go-to is in Australia there was a politician who literally wrote a book recommending against the policies he adopted while in power. There wasn't any evidence that he'd changed his intellectual views, he was just blown by a stronger wind than his convictions.
