A great leader is the one who leads keeping in mind his/her people and for their good.
Explanation:
"Ozymandias" is a poem written by P. B. Shelley. The poem is about King Ozymandias, who ruled Egypt sometime between 1279-1213 B.C.E.
From the poem by Shelley, one can perceive that Ozymandias was a tyrannical ruler. As written on the pedestal of the statue, <em>"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
/ Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!",</em> the King appears to be boastful instead of a great ruler. He might have ruled with great achievements but now he standstill in a desert with nothing around him. A great leader is the one who is concerned for his people. One who thinks of their benefit.
