Quite true. Although effectively and successfully is generally implied.

I beg to differ. As a former Army officer I am a student and careful observer of military, political and business leaders and managers. The tyrannical leader is generally effective, but I don't consider them successful. My definition of a succesful leader is one who can motivate people to WANT to do something rather than one who MAKES someone do something. It's my definition, so I should have been more clear up front, but in my mind, the two are quite distinct. In any case, Africans generally have failed at both.
