Answer 1

Answer: He was intelligent enough to lead from the rear, thereby protecting himself from an early death

Explanation:

Part of the success of the conquests of Alexander the Great was down to the complete loyalty and respect his men had for him. This was down to him leading them with empathy. For instance, when their horses died and soldiers had to walk, he would walk with them and if food was scarce, he would go hungry with his men.

Perhaps the most evident act of this leadership style was Alexander in battle. He preferred to lead his men from the front especially the cavalry instead of hiding and commanding behind them. This way he not only inspired his troops but was able to see the battle in real time and make adjustments if necessary.
