Why was Napoleon such a good leader?

Answer 1

Napoleon was one of the best leaders, but a good leader might mean something different than you are asking. Good leaders are not always good people. They do what is needed, and sometimes that's different than what's wanted.

Also, it all depends on your point of view. The British hated Napoleon, the French loved him.

Napoleon did unite France, and was a great military leader. He got France to pretty much bow down to him, and that's saying something. But if he had lived in any other time period he might have never made anything of himself. He also had a huge ego, which lead partially to his downfall.

Anyway, you're probably really annoyed at me for not giving a straight answer, so here's my opinion - Napoleon is a good leader. He was charismatic, intelligent, a good strategist, and had really good luck.

Answer 2

Because France had experienced really bad leadershipunder the French Revolution and the Bourbon Monarchy. Almost anything that brought an end to the terror and chaos, offered hope and insured the supply of bread would have been seen as an improvement.

Answer 3

Napoleon isn't a good leader because he takes control and sneakily changes the seven commandments and is also very sly.

Answer 4

Arrogants in later of life.
