General Eisenhower, Napoleon is a really fascinating figure too and a close second.

Most underrated = Tito
Defeated the Nazis without Soviet help, held that basket case of a country together for 35 years, allowed companies to make and keep profits, let his people travel and work abroad, told Stalin to frick off and lead the non-aligned movement during the cold war. Everyone in that part of the world aside from Serbs still love Tito.

I can’t believe that no one else has mentioned George Washington. He was 6’10”

Napoleons only real strategy was throwing thousands of men at a battle. That's not much of a leader imo.

You’re absolutely right. Conquering all the way to Moscow...not much of a leader.

I didn't say he was a bad conquer, he was good at that. But he was no Alexander the Great.

What’s your measuring tool then? How do you measure who’s a good leader and who’s a bad leader especially for people that were born and died hundreds of years before your time?

Personally I consider a good leader someone who values the people they're leading, and is willing to make personal sacrifices in their decision making for the greater good. King David would be a good example. He certainly made mistakes, but nobody is perfect. I wouldn't consider a tyrant a leader.

He sent Uriah on a suicide mission after he got the latter's wife pregnant.
quote:
2 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, 3 and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” 4 Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her monthly uncleanness.) Then she went back home. 5 The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.”
quote:
14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15 In it he wrote, “Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die.”
quote:
26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. 27 After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the Lord.

George Washington

Washington. The dude was a stud in every imaginable way, knew it, and still was able to retain his humility.
His humility was a bit of a facade. He made sure to “stay above the fray” but he had some absolute vipers as staff - none better at it than Alexander Hamilton - who smeared and destroyed the reputations of his rivals.
Not really a bad combination. George Bush (Jr. an Sr.) followed that model as well. Stay above the fray while you have the likes of Lee Atwater and Karl Rove do all the dirty work.
