A leader has the responsibility to seek and choose paths of action that have a reasonable probability of success. The leader owes it to those under him/her to make that careful choice up front, then draw in the resources to help in the accomplishment of the goal. The current Speaker of the House failed to "read the room" and instead acted on impulse and blind fury. Those who followed her over that cliff, two failed sham impeachments, especially the House Managers, are not without blame. In a society based on merit, she would be seriously under consideration for removal.
