Pertaining to leadership roles, do family financial background have much effect?

Yes in general.

Money is always the key to have an influence in the government. You can easily gain support to the public by giving them some financial support and at the same time get a political backer by just having a family with good political background.

This is why political roles usually just from the same family over and over again through different generation.

This is the reality.

[hyudien]

In reality, family background influences one future success, those born into wealthy families are afforded privileges such as quality education, living in a business environment and having readily available capital if they want to start a business, however this doesn't mean those born to poor parents can't succeed. A real life example is Nelson Mandela who despite being born to poor parents, achieved success and became a great leader. The difference lies in the obstacles they had to overcome, that's all.

[Ziskinberg]

You tend to get respect when you come from a good family background. Of course, there are people who came from nothing and made it big, rags to riches stories, but those are rare. In business, connections matter a lot. If you come from a wealthy or well-known family, it’s much easier to get into the right circles. Even if you’re not that smart, as long as you have the right connections, your chances of success are still high.

At the end of the day, even politics starts to look like a business. No one really enters public service without gaining something in return. The position always comes with benefits whether it’s influence, money, or both, so it's no surprise that many treat it more as an opportunity than a responsibility.

[Ruttoshi]

Yes it does.

You don't need to be from a poor or rich family before you can become a good leader in whatever position that is given to you in the government or big companies. The way that you were brought up in your family will determine that. If you are brought up in an upright, honest way and always look for opportunities around you to take as an advantage to make out something out of whatever ugly scenario that's playing around you. You will be a good leader.

The family background can influence a child because the family is an agent of socialisation. When children are exposed to family businesses or politics at a tender age, they grow to master these skills, which can make them successful in the future. They can also become successful easily because their families have the financial backup and connections to make things rosy.

But many people from a poor background become successful because of education, hard work, and determination. In summary,  family background can contribute to a child's success but this is not always the case.

[Ishicryptic]

Family backgrounds have a big influence on the future of anybody, people from rich families finds life very easy than those from poor families because doors easily open for then due to their family name and influence. Rich and influential families will do everything possible to retain their wealth and pass it on to their children that is why they will always lobby and reserve the best positions in politics and huge corporations for their children only. The children of the poor have to struggle for everything in life because the rich and influentials will always want their family members and rich associates to occupy every leadership positions.

Influential family backgrounds can get a person into a leadership position but it is character and expertise that will sustain them in the position that their influential families got them. This is where the children of the poor can challange them for the positions if they are not performing, the poor and their children rely on opportunities where the rich cannot perform to show their worth. The poor can get to top positions in like mainly if the rich cannot perform or they are not available for such positions, the poor are opportunists.

I can say no because our previous president came from ordinary backgrounds and did not have wealthy backgrounds or come from powerful families. In general, perhaps most of them came from wealthy and powerful families, but a small number also came from ordinary families. It's a matter of luck and the hard work each person builds, and if we have the intention, I believe the process never betrays the results.

Supporting roles are indeed essential in today's climate, as attaining power and wealth is much easier if we possess them. However, what if we don't have them? Should we give up and not fight for the success we desire? Everyone has an equal opportunity if they're willing to fight for it.

[Russlenat]

What really matters is power, and not everyone with money has it. But if you come from a rich family, that usually means your wealth was built over time, and with that comes influence. You’re more likely to have strong connections in the business world, partnerships with established firms, and a solid reputation backing you up.

If you come from a poor family, it’s still possible to get rich as there are plenty of people who made it, but the journey is definitely much harder.

This list of billionaires just proves that it can be done.

PoorWhen in need of inspiration from real life rags-to-riches tales, look to these CEOs.

People born in rich and business minded families do get schooling about how to handle and manage the money. So, they ought to be good in managing money when they grow up as well as have overall management skills of human and non-human resources. We have seen sons and daughters of owners of large business successfully inheriting and running the business. There are occasional news of losing all of their family fortune but they are rare and even for people who lost most of it has recovered.

Top leaders and Presidents are not always from rich backgrounds. Trump is an exception, a billionaire who became a president but most of the world leaders comes either from a political background with their parents in politics or from a bureaucratic background where they have already learned about diplomacy. When there's a leader who knows about money but have not much idea about diplomacy, we get problematic situation like current time with US. Trump might have right intentions but his diplomacy is already a failure.

Background of people has a big role to play in the society. doing well economically or financially is two sided, meaning that in some rich homes they have the resources to train their kids to any length. and this length will either impact them positively or negatively. if they are positive they will be useful to the society and they will do better. but if not then it becomes the opposite.

it is also possible that the poor can be good in leadership role because of good upbringing and do to good family financial background. because they where born and brought up in a good family , for this reason, they will want to maintain their dignity, thereby keeping there heads up and do the right thing to maintain a good reputation. some family may be poor but have a good reputation and this can bring good luck. and vise versa a rich family may have a bad reputation, and will lead to bad luck. so you never can tell which among this two can be qualified in terms of leadership role.

Rich people get respect since they young.

Poor people get bullied since they young.

People who get bullied usually not confident and shy.

What really matters is power, and not everyone with money has it.

When you say power is powerful than money, that just simply means you don't have a lot of money.

Money can buy people including politicians and presidents, they can become big because there are many business support them, that's why after the politicians or presidents won, they tend to make different decision than what they promise before, because they're getting controlled by the business.

Wealth guarantees a rich network of top people in the society. You are able to easily get into their clubs, talk to them. It grants you access. That's it. And that's what the world is all about all round. Wealthy people have that but poor people don't. They will have to struggle and fight their way to the top to get there.

[Findingnemo]

IMO, rich/wealthy have no relation to good quality in leadership those are something that comes with the character of each individual, and the environment they were brought up and what they have been taught as values and finally the empathy towards other's emotions.

Being rich gives you a head start, you can just replace your father if he is a leader but continuing entirely depends on your actions and how people are welcoming it. And finally someone who wasn't rich probably seen all the struggled and need to overcome on their own to reach this place so they will give more importance than a spoiled rich kid as a leader.

Wealth and poverty can be heredity but when opportunity of those from the rich backgrounds are misused, then they may have lost that promising potentials that was ought to be their gate pass. There're lot in the history who had lost their silver spoons and life becomes tough for them due to misused of opportunities.
Those from the poor background may face the tough life most because there's no one besides to give them backup since the road of success has become and while the poor might be struggling to get into it, those from the rich background stand chances of earning it even without being merited. The world has turns to Man-know-Man where cronyism and nepotism is real.
But in an unbiased institute, company or in the political race, what'd be considered to be a successor is your potentials such as what's required to efficiently carry on the work. It could be leadership or occupying an official position in an institution. And such horizon will always explore because those who're occupying those positions are by merits and not personalities.

[Webetcoins]

In last few decades, many changes already happen just because of this does not matter from which family you are coming and how things works for you in past because if you are having skills and talent then surely you can lead from the front, and you are able to have any high-profile spot in government or company.

Many big names which are ruling current corporate world and also have roles into countries and big companies have not good background they came from middle class or lower class, but they have done hard work and achieve this success few nature abilities also helps few to have their spots. In few developing countries, castes or family background still exist but mostly are now going through to changes which are bringing good for them because this mindset can bring revolutionary changes.

This topic would have been better in the politics and society, because it has a lot to politics and the societal behavior, you are right about leadership charisma completely has nothing to do with your financial status though being financially buoyant gives a hedge for a political position but it will become more appropriated when it is accompany with a good personality character wise, and the truth remains that both those from a poor financial background can as well have a good leadership roles and potential of the opportunity is given even more than those from a wealthy family.

[Kagaru]

It is a fact that family financial background would determine whether a person finds it easy or difficult to get to the top leadership positions when you consider it. Rich families normally provide their members with access to better schools, good networks, and resources, thus giving them an upper hand. That could spell a lot of difference in their economic prosperity in the future. However, this is not always true, that being born rich makes one do better. There is a good number of leaders who grew out of destitute origins and used will power, hard work and making wise decisions to place themselves on top. Therefore, though we cannot deny the fact that being born into money can play the role of opening a few doors, there are as well other factors that contribute to success of a leader or businessperson. Individual traits and chances are very important as well.

[Raflesia]

Because in the end, wealth is always a privilege that makes things easier.

Come on, not everyone can be rich but the opportunity will become a little more open when we have good support especially from parents who do provide with resources where financial is not lacking.
We take many cases of billionaires now such as the founder of Meta who even though he started from 0 but don't forget that the parents behind him gave full access to encouragement and he was previously given the opportunity to tutor in a place that not everyone can be there, we take another case such as Bill Gates who in fact has the support of his mother who can indeed provide easier access to make his software accepted (passed) to IBM because in fact the mother of Bill Gates is the Vice President of the United Way.
By looking at this we can draw a conclusion because behind the hard work done, of course, support, especially in the form of resources such as finance and relationships, is important so that saying success from 0 will be a little different where to achieve something (success) in a life there are those who do it from the plus phase such as those who are lucky to be supported by a family where their realtions and finances are very good or there are those who start from minus when we only have determination and intention as initial capital.

Of course they do, just look at the Prime Ministers in the UK and you'll find that 9 out of 10 will go through the exclusive Eaton private school which costs a lot of money per term and has a very selective process to get in, with a few scholarships for very bright students. The same will be true of Harvard and Yale in the USA, many students have rich parents who make large "contributions" if their child does not quite make the grade and they would also receive intense private 1-2-1 tutoring from the best teachers around. It's less true with big business, as it can help having family money to launch products without a bank, but there are other routes to raising money that innovative thinkers can get their hands on.
