A Leadership Issue

Post by Nicator »

Hello All,
Don't know who said it, but the saying goes, "He who leads, should serve all first." Did Alexander fit the mold?
Later Nicator

Thus, rain sodden and soaked, under darkness cloaked,
Alexander began, his grand plan, invoked...

I think that King Poros said something similar, although i dont remember exactly, but it was something that Alexander didnt quite like. Alexander wasnt exactly the model of how a King should be.He was more interested in military aspects.But generally he did a nice job running the empire.And he was surely generous to everyone.
