Why Julius Ceaser was a Leader

If there ever was a most characteristic military leader in history, that was Julius Caesar. Beyond his undeniable ability for strategy, the roman general outstood because of his personal leadership lessons over his army, to whom he knew how to transmit his vision and wisdom. His troops gave Caesar back the trust he needed for his many victories. From him, we are taking these valuable lessons that a great leader should know:

Connection with his soldiers

Back in Rome, it was said that Caesar knew the names of each and every soldier fighting with him. That personal connection was a chance to win the confidence of his army. A leader doesn’t need to be “best friends” with every member of his team, but from this story we can learn that having a personal connection with coworkers is something positive, because it reduces the gaps that may exist in an office and strengthens leadership.



Accept your responsibility

Caesar was always close to his troops. In spite of the danger, the roman general wanted to communicate directly with his army because he knew that meant a boost to his soldier’s moral. He ate with them, slept with them, bled with them. Being close to his men also allowed him to identify weaknesses and make quick decisions to correct mistakes. Like Julius Caesar, a good leader must be ready for whatever may come, to give support to his people and make quick but well-thought decisions. Be accessible to your team and guide them towards the end of the process.

Take a risk

Julius Caesar took on the risks which came with his leadership. A leader must be brave and take risks. If you set your conviction aside and make decisions based on fear and cowardice, you will be building your leadership on a faulty base. Take risks, be brave, learn from mistakes and you will achieve success on the base of a strong, solid leadership.
