Genghis Khan was a leader who knew how to unite his people. His leadership style had united what once were enemies into a single army that followed him to victory. His army was in that period of time considered the first modern army and Genghis Khan’s leadership methods were developed from experience from the battlefield and from his army’s input. He uses Mayo’s theory of motivation by engaging himself with his army. He promotes communication and working in teams which led to the success of his invasions. His management was indeed brutal but it still proved very effective and the army dared not to oppose him. His actions as a leader had proven to be much better than most leaders as he was one of the few leaders who actually engaged into war with his allies. I believe that his leadership has made his army motivated and committed to his goal. This would mean that his army had a higher rate of success in invasions as they are committed to the cause even it meant death.
