There were many great leaders all throughout time, and there continues to be great leaders all over the world, with exemplary qualities. With all of these great leaders, it made it very difficult to choose just one to write about, but I found one that had qualities that I found very admirable. He had the same qualities that I try to incorporate into my everyday life, and hope to one day pass down to soldiers I will lead, and to my children.
