the main claim that borte ran the mongol empire, she didn't. She was a great help and most great leaders had amazing wives who helped them.

Despite this her actions were greatly inflated by the title and main claim.

Running an empire is a lot different than leading it. It's like COO and CEO, Sandberg and Zuck.
Too bad that in reality her role would be more of executive assistant by those standards.
