Abstract
In western education, Plato is often cited as a foundational thinker for education of leaders. At 2, 395 years later, many of the nations of the world are struggling to address the Covid-19 global pandemic. The pandemic has provided academics with a wonderful opportunity to evaluate government leadership at many levels. All the different forms of governance as well as theoretical economic systems are being tested in real-time. Success can be measured on a nation’s ability to reduce both deaths and spread of the COVID-19 virus among their citizens. This paper discusses these concepts focused on successful government leadership.
