What compels someone to lead others?

I personally think that there are a lot of characteristics similar to all leaders which compel them to lead others. You have to be confident in yourself in order to be confident as a leader and lead people into the right direction. If you are very self-conscious and care a lot about the opinions of others, you will not be a good leader. You also have to be very wise in order to be a good leader. You need to know what you are talking about, give good advice, and help out the people who follow and look up to you as much as possible. I think that being a leader on a sports team and being a leader like Alexander the Great are very similar jobs. No, sports teams don't have to go out and take over an empire, but they have to win games. Winning games requires focus, desire, strength, support, leadership, everything that taking over an empire. They are obviously different, but they are alike in the sense that they both have the same ambition, and that is to win. In order to win, you need leaders who help your team significantly through their actions, advice, positivity, desire, and so many more qualities. Alexander the Great had all of these qualities when he had the desire to create one of the largest empires known to date. He was compelled to lead his army and followers because he was focused and had a ambition to win. He help out his army so much by being such a good leader, just like a captain helps their team by being a good leader and leading by example.
