Alexander the Great and Leadership

This week as I learned of Alexander the Great and his leadership attributes, I learned about how to be a better leader amongst my friends.  There are great leadership attributes in Alexander, but in the end his motives were wrong.  He wanted to win just to win, noit to help his followers and friends.  That is important when being a leader.  You cannot just win to win.  The sacrifice is too great.  If you have to make sacrifices that hurt those you lead, you better have a great purpose and meaning in you motives.  That's what I learned, that a true leader leads his followers into battle, real or figurative with a good motive in mind.  One that will bless them.
