The Morality of a Political Leader

The way you've stated this it sounds like the kind of thing that Machiavelli said. For a leader to be a good leader that leader must be prepared to do things which other people would consider immoral. The idea is that what would be morally wrong for ordinary people or for anyone in a different role isn't morally wrong for the leader. This is not stepping outside morality but it is rather fracturing morality and so there's this morality that morality this morality and then the political morality.
