Pancho Villa has been characterized as a great leader in the troops he led during the Mexican Revolution, for this reason he is perceived as one of the people with great attitudes and skills to be a great leader, an issue that was noticeable when seeing how people he was involved and participated in different acts always supporting this character in his fight. The leadership that Francisco Villa exercised was sometimes participatory, first communicating the problems to them, then expressing their proposals, discussing what they could or had to do at the end of the day to make a decision, which almost always depended on him and choosing the indicated and precise option.
He executed an autocratic leadership since he assumed in various issues all the responsibility of making decisions, he said how they would address the opponents when they would start and when the fighting would end, motivated them with words of encouragement for them and their families especially by protecting their interests, their honor and their integrity.
Another of the leaderships executed by Pancho was the democratic one since the intervention he had in the people regarding the improvement of his conditions and the struggle he faced from enemies in order to free Mexicans from slavery. He was a leader always focused on his group, he directed his guerrillas without hesitation and with all the determination, he did not need to gather people to support him, people would be with him in order to be part of their squads, since they motivated their proposals and vision towards liberation from slavery and the improvement of the people and their families in every way, people had it in a concept of a smart person.
