Manmohan Singh (former PM of India) was an economist par excellence. As the finance minister, he was responsible for the liberalization of the Indian economy and arguably responsible for the economic boom in the country today. But his tenure as a Prime Minister is largely remembered for his missteps and his general nonchalance to everything that happened around him. His legacy was tarnished and now he is just remembered as a puppet PM. So yeah, extra curricular skills and fancy degrees and academic credentials may not translate into a good leader of the country.
