They usually aren't leaders at all. Executive types hire those super-smart people as underlings.
Having a scientist as President of the United States would probably be a complete disaster.
Hell...look at Jimmy Carter. The guy is super-intelligent and border-line brilliant.
Sucked at being President. And that was even after he DID have executive experience owning his own company AND being Governor of Georgia.
Could you imagine some poindexter nerd straight out of a laboratory who plays video games and has never gotten laid becoming the President?
