No matter your opinion of Napoleon Bonaparte, he was, without question, one of the best motivational leaders in the last 500 years. After destroying his army in Russia and being exiled to Elba he was able to raise a new army that threatened European Nobility for a second time. Even his enemies admired his ability to see beyond the moment and inspire the minds of those who would follow him. When Lord Wellington was asked who the best general of all time was, he responded, “undeniably, Napoleon Bonaparte.” To this day, we are still influenced by his genius in small and large ways. The suit coats men and women put on every day have buttons at the end of their sleeves. This superfluous item of fashion, invented by Napoleon, was designed to prevent troops from wiping their nose with their sleeve. And yet this minor invention of hygiene remains with us today. But our greatest lesson from Napoleon Bonaparte was his skill in leadership, a word not yet invented.
