While watching the show called "Centurion" during the holidays, I encountered a very interesting and totally different form of leadership.

In the movie, this is what one of the man say about their general.

"In training he is our scholar,
At the feast he is our father,
In the ranks he is our brother.
And in battle he is the god we pray to save our souls."

Another says this.

"He is a ruthless, reckless bastard.
And I'd die for him without hesitation"

I think that this is one of the most fundamental aspects of being a leader, to be respected in the right places, and also to be in-tune with the people you lead.

I really admire the hierarchy of leadership that exists within the ranks of the armies of Ancient Rome. Whoever said the Romans never gave us anything lasting eh?
