Easier said than done. The traits that allow a person to be elected seldom correlate to actual competence at governance; in fact, they’re nearly mutually exclusive. Human nature being what it is, people vote for those who tell them what they want to hear, not what they need to hear.

The US system in particular rewards candidates who are good at getting elected, but not necessarily anything else.
