Elite group invested financially and culturally n the sucess of the nation elect successor. No merchants, no bankers, land-owners people who make their wealth as the nation makes its wealth.

Meritocratic nomination; selection and appointment by vote of peers.

This from a failure of a man who threw temper tantrums whenever something went wrong, which happened all the time because he decided to try to take over most of Europe with his small landlocked country.

England and France declared war. He sued for Peace multiple times after beating them back, but England kept refusing.

>Succession
Casting of lots, random selection from a candidate pool, basically think jury duty.
If you have the time to serve on a council supporting the leadership then you have the time to be the leadership.
Genetically engineer a superman and train him from birth to be a great leader

AI or an advanced computer system programmed to make the same decisions that the best autocratic leader the country ever had would make.

Hereditary succession. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

Hereditary
The early Roman emperors had a good idea with adoption. if this is mandatory it cuts out the instinct to appoint your asshole son as heir. You would be motivated to adopt someone capable as his success would reflect onto you

No no hereditary.
The Roman and Chinese Empires clearly demonstrate hereditary is not a lasting solution. The closest thing to a successful hereditary system is the British Constitutional Monarchy (even then dynastial succession was effectively destroyed through the Glorious Revolution) which is effectively neutered or at least for the last two three hundred years has been progressively neutered in all respects.
This leaves you with Republic and Democracy and we very well know how disastrous the idea of strong men fostering cults of personality in mob rule, resulting in the "constitutional" dismemberment of the Republic in Rome and dooming the Democracy in Athens through military misadventure.
So clearly neither are viable solutions.
Might as well cast lots in a system that cannot be rigged and have a tight vetting and sponsoring process to try and limit the kind of undesirables that can become eligible.
