People want simple answers to complex problems. The best leaders are able to execute complex solutions while making them sound and appear simple.
The worst leaders simply claim to have simple solutions when they barely understand the problem, let alone how to craft a solution.
Rather than "best"—that sounds like "most well-liked."
The best leaders are candid about what they do and how they do it. No matter how (probably distastefully) complex those things are.
To put it another way, one of the most important characteristics of a great leader is: guiding people away from wanting simple answers.
