George Washington brought exemplary character to both the presidency as well as general of the Continental Army. When given the opportunity to be made King, he declined the offer. Having just helped to oust a despot, he did not relish becoming one himself. He remained steadfast and did not waiver from his principles. He was a man of deep, abiding faith that took his responsibilities seriously.
Even though he was not military genius he did have the following leadership qualities:
before the war he had very few enemies
he radiated energy
people easily trusted him
he was committed to what he did
He was such a great general because he was very clever and used common scenes like in the battle of Trenton and Princeton. George Washington's early military career (1754-1758)-during the Seven Years' War-was not uniformly successful. In his first battle, he and his men were ambushed and forced to surrender Fort Necessity on the Pennsylvania frontier. Washington's reputation for leadership and courage was based on his actions in another defeat at the hands of the French. In that battle, at Fort Duquesne (1755, often called the "Battle of the Wilderness" or "Braddock's Defeat"), Washington had two horses shot from under him and eventually had to assume command from the mortally wounded General Edward Braddock. Washington led the surviving British and Colonial soldiers on a successful retreat. Later (1775-1783), Washington would lead the Patriots to a surprising victory over Great Britain, "…the best-trained, best-equipped fighting force in the Western world. …Although he lost most of his battles with the British, year after year he held his ragtag, hungry army together"-from the EDSITEment resource The American President.
The qualities George Washington had that made him a good choice for commanding the Revolutionary army were his powers of leadership and character.
George Washington possessed the ability to motivate his men. However, his military skills have been called into question due to the percentage of battles lost.

George Washington had many good presidential traits, which he demonstrated when leading the US Army in war. He showed courage, power, stamina and management character skills.
George Washington went to congress in a tailored blue wool uniform with brass buttons to become commander of American forces. He cited his experience as a British officer in the French and Indian war as a good reason they needed him. At over six feet, with red hair, and in his uniform he must have made a real sight and very convincing. He had an interesting combination of real life experience and the wealthy plantation owner as part of his resume'.
