"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the article, "Rome's most righteous warlord", Caesar's battle tactics are described. Obviously, the quote above says that the real leaders are those who prosper during difficult times. Caesar did exactly this. He had a highly "interventionist" style of leadership. He was able to solve problems on the battlefield even when it seemed like his army wouldn't prosper. He was a great "improviser" rather than a great planner. During times of challenge and controversy, instead of backing down, he led his army to victory. The quote "Even though he suffered reverses, they were never permanent; he always recovered and went on to win," shows this.
