That is, find those who accomplished major political goals, and study what they did to fulfil those goals.
Which level of goals are we talking about here. For example, Lenin succeeded in his goal of seizing power in Russia. He failed in his goal of turning Russia into a workers’ paradise (assuming that was still his goal by that point).
Whichever level you want. If one wants to seize power in Russia, one might use Lenin as a role model. If one wants to turn Russia into a workers’ paradise, one presumably wouldn’t use Lenin as a role model.
