Bob Hawke is acclaimed by both sides of Australian politics as having been as great Prime Minister.  If you read his biography, you will find he was not an ideologue - simply an ego-driven opportunist. It has been said that across the whole of industry, the rate of making 'correct decisions' is about 50%.  The main thing a leader must do is actually make a decision when it is required.  Right or wrong does not matter, but it helps to be risk-conscious.
