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.

Explanation:
The East India Company forced Sepoys to use new ammunition that went against their religious beliefs, hence causing the Sepoy Rebellion.
It all started when the British East India Company implemented the use of new bullets that must be coated with a mixture of pork and beef fat. This upset many Sepoy's, as several of them were Hindus and this went against their beliefs. Hindus belief that the cow is a sacred animal and are prohibited from touching or killing cows and eating beef.
Along with this, many Sepoys were also Muslim. In this religion of Islam, the pig is considered an unclean animal. This upset with the new policies caused a revolt of these Sepoys against the British East India Company.
