Genghis Khan as a leader can be similar to current leaders in the sense that he used modern day strategies and his communication shaped his army into fighting for his cause. The Mongols used to hate each other but with Genghis Khan's help they united and fought under the same empire. Furthermore, his role as a leader reached out much more than just leading but engaging into combat and shared the equal burden of death in war. This promoted the want to be closer with the leader and improved subordinate loyalty even it meant force.
The extent as a leader reached further than most of the other leaders at the time. He respected others including women and children which in the eyes of some was considered very respectable even though he was a brutal murderer. My perception of his extent was that he created the greatest empire in history due to his engagement as a leader.
