As a youth Alexander set out with his army to Egypt with a confidence that he could do almost anything. After conquering Egypt he describes himself as being part god, to the dimay of some Greeks. He even refuses Darius’ offer for Alexander to marry his daughter, because he says he does not need his permission to marry Darius’ daughter.

Although Alexander does become more wise to the ways of the world as he ages, he never really sheds his over-confidence until right before his death.…

When observing the qualities of a person, usually what are taken in account are that person’s actions. Alexander the Great, possibly one of the greatest war generals/kings of all time, was a gifted young man for his tactical strategies for battle.

Similarly but on a much smaller scale, Jerry, from "Through the Tunnel", accomplished…

To be a leader, you need to prove you can be one and what better way than to have people back you up and follow you. Alexander the Great is a prime example of this leadership. He went to great lengths to change the Hellenistic world. From raising a country in to a dominant empire, Alexander ranks must supreme with his accomplishments.
