black lovage the large was born in Pella, Macedonia in 350 B. C. His father who was the Macedonia King Philippe died when Alexander was 20 age after(prenominal) being kil guide in a Persias battle. He immediately replaced the position of his father. Alexander had several talents ranging from being smart, brave, proud and ambitious. His phalanx and brave skills were witnessed when he took part in the battle at the age of 16. One of his ambitious dreams was to establish the world empire and become the rule of the whole inhabited world. He had inherited his fathers idea to conquer Asia and wage a campaign against the orient.(Hornblower S, 2002). Alexander the great had make several achievements in his interest to populate the world empire with a unity nation but on the other hand his validation had some setbacks. This paper highlights some of the real achievements and sorrows that Alexander the great make in his time for sendership. At the death of his father when he was 20 y ear old, he was proclaimed to be the Czar of Macedonia. He did e very(prenominal)thing to change the armies military skills, developed the armys organizational system and occupy Hellenic Campaign to the Orient.His army entered the main residence of Persia palace which was the well-nigh beautiful and had stooln 60 years to be built. This action make Alexander to be the ruler of the whole orient. Since the time he mount the throne of Persian czars he started to demand from his subordinates to keep the oriental rite of worship (Alexander the great encyclopedia. ) During this period, Czar Darius was still alive and he colonised in Ekbantak in Midia. Alexander sent his army to Persian Czar. Darius refused to take the battle and sought safety in flight.His empire ended after his death as a result of a wound inflicted on him. (Kaplan R, 2001). Alexander the great likewise confronted the rebels in the Sogdian Rock of Sisimitr. The confrontation was confront with confrontation in acce ssing the solgdian noblemen who had settled in un sailable mountain which was filled with snow. These noblemen had a great influence on the population of Soldgiana. However with a phone of great reward to his warriors, 300 brave volunteers managed to climb the mountain, and reached where the noblemen had settled. The rebels surrendered as they were astonish by this action.Alexander the Great led to the spread of the Greek Culture only over his empire which affected the law and the government for a very long period. He was an open-minded man in that he merged more Persian/Asian ideas in his empower and military. He say that Asia found m all things that are worthy to be copied. (Mirzaev R, 2006). The king alike encouraged the cultural, political and religious development of the western thinking. This was as a result of conquering Darius Persian Armies eliminating the Persian threat in invasive Europe. This had loomed for a number of centuries.Alexander the great also lead to con quering the Macedonia to red-brick India. However, Alexander the great cut the Gordian knot which established the fleshly force, power and brute reasoning, over spiritualism and religious mysteries. He was overcome in India. This defeat came about due to the distance from Europe and the deprivation of supply lines. It essentially established the borders of European imperialism during that era of technology which remained sacrosanct through the time of the Roman Empire. Alexander the great led to adjournment of the great empire after his death.This is because his governance lacked the political and economic ties and kind of relied absolutely on the military forces. He neglected his health to a point where he died. Before he died he had failed to provide an heir, and refused to stand for an adult successor. His role would not have got been taken by any other person because he eliminated aspirants that could have taken his role to postdate him. Neglecting to delegate his res ponsibility to any other person also killed his administrative system because he played all the duties alone.Alexander the Great had made mastery in life which was very extraordinary. This was witnessed all the way since he was 16 throughout his life in the leaders. However the overall outcome was failure due to the collapse of his governance and the rise in the Roman republic. ( Donova D. C. ) A good leader makes a better leader that him/her. (Covey S. 95) One cannot lead alone he/she should rely on others in order to get at criticism and more enlighting in leadership. Delegation of some responsibilities ensures a plastered leadership because the burden of leadership is shared to different people.Delegation of responsibility also ensures that leaders focus and concentrate on certain important issues rather than shifting effort to all dimensions. Alexander the Great system of monopoly of powers led to the collapse of the government after his death. It was also followed by 50 year s of warfare and also the collapse of his empire. The Alexander system of governance could have both positive and negative attributes that one can pinpoint in order to help one employ a right leadership.Ambition and aim irrespective of the age are important leadership attributes that could be seen and copied from Alexanders leadership. However discouragement of successors, dictatorship and self-centeredness in leadership should be highly criticized as it can be learnt from Alexanders leadership. Alexander should be the blame for poor leadership in exchange Asia as it did not enhance continuity. References Jeffery J. Roberts. 2003. The origins of conflict in Afghanistan.
