...but that's not all!
Why stop at Ghengis Khan and Adolf Hitler? Joseph Stalin comes to mind as another great leader worthy of study. He led his nation to turn back the invading German army in World War Two. Although he died in 1953, before the space race got any public attention, I would bet that his leadership was instrumental in the many "firsts" that the USSR achieved - Sputnik, the first man-made satellite in space. Yuri Gregarin, the first human in space.
I'm being facetious of course. I doubt that there are any useful (positive) lessons to be learned by studying the leadership style of "Uncle Joe".
And finally, to Patrick Gray, I'd like to say - "Thanks for the thought provoking article". It is well written and actually makes a lot of sense to me. I reject the notion that we can overlook the millions of murders and rapes attributed to the Mongol invasions. But I enjoyed reading the article.
