Assuming that you mean "1st world" development-wise (therefore using the following map), I collected some of the worst/most incompetent leaders, although this is not supposed be a ranking but rather a loose list:
US: Donald Trump. No further words needed, I assume? Considering the consequences of his foreign policy, George W. Bush might also be a possible applicant.
Canada: Nobody seems to be bad enough to make it to the list.
Chile: Sebastián Pińera seems to be a hot contender considering his terrible handling of both the Chilean protests and the Covid crisis.
Argentina: Not well informed enough to form an opinion.
Australia: Tony Abbott, maybe? Scott Morrison might also be a choice for his handling of the wildfire crisis.
New Zealand: No Prime Minister seemed to be extremely bad.
South Korea: The beforementioned Park Geun-hye for being a corrupt shill who severely damaged her country's most powerful office.
Japan: Too many short term PMs.
Ireland: Brian Cowen.
UK: Ough, Tony Blair for foreign policy, David Cameron for austerity and long-term effects of his Brexit referendum, Boris Johnson for just being incompetent?
Italy: Berlusconi ofc.
France: Hollande or Sarkozy, don't know who was worse?
Germany: Neither Merkel nor Schröder were outstanding, but none of them were particularly bad.
Slovenia: Janez Janša, corrupt and ultranationalist.
Hungary: Viktor Orbán for being Janša on steroids.
Spain: Possibly Rajoy for his handling of the Catalonia crisis and its long-term effects on Spanish policy.
Sweden: Stefan Löfven strikes out for his handling of Covid.
Czechia: Petr Necas possibly.
Slovakia: Robert Fico, corruption in person.
Croatia: Likely Ivo Sanader, who's in jail for corruption and bribery.
Belgium: Did they even have any PM who served on a non-interim basis lol
Poland: Kaczynski was never in charge personally.
Greece: Georgious Papandreou?
Iceland: Geir Haarde, Icelandic banking crisis?
Don't know much more about the remaining countries, some might not even have had particularly bad leaders (Norway?) or are simply to irrelevant, so their leaders won't have caused any large-scale problems (Liechtenstein lol).
