What is a leadership story that inspires you the most? And what fascinates you about it?

Whoever I try to select among the great leaders Steve Jobs is completely out of competition in my personal list of leadership perfect model. But since Mr. Ahmed Alhussaini already mentioned him, I would take a chance to stress the great leadership example demonstrated by Kanosuke Matsushita. This guy started his empire being just elementary school graduate and whole his life he tried to gather around him more educated and more talented people and learn from them. Studying every day from those who knows more,  sharing the company mission and values with his team openly, trust to team leaders - makes him one of the most bright example of leadership inth century. 

Thanks for the Invite.

Well spiritually Prophets Mohammed (SAW) and the leadership traits he portrayed fascinates me and the fact that he was an illiterate man.

When it comes to Business I consider Warren Buffet as the a best leader and how he managed o acquire a great wealth.

Omar Almokhtar , despite he was old man but he was brave

The profit Mohammed's story...

Every single detail

Thanks for invite ... our prophet Mohammed , and I fascinated with his habits

At present times, for sure Elon Musk. Space X, Tesla, Pay Pal , etc founder and CEO.

Why? Well, just about resilence to overhead the fails and "fight" the imposed system...

Abraham Lincoln could be considered one of great leaders ofth century.His anti slavery movements and justice based rule inspired generation of leaders

I fully agree with the answers been added by EXPERTS..........Thanks. 

Steve Jobs, despite his attempts to create another company, Steve Jobs got his old job back in Apple, here he displayed no remorse for those who kicked him out, then pretty much used his skills as leadership to bring Apple to what has it come today.

between a rock and a hard place it's a true story about Aron Ralston and his survival  

One of my favorite leadership by example stories is that of Mahatma Gandhi. How closely does what you say as a leader align with what you do. 

The following story will inspire you as it inspired me; from it we can conclude that a true leader will advise others to do certain stuffs he/she truly believes in and not based on abstract actions:

 there was a young boy who had become addicted to and obsessed with eating sugar. His mother decided to get 

help and took the long and hot journey with her son walking many miles and hours under the scorching sun. 

She finally reached Gandhi and asked him to tell her son to stop eating sugar, it wasn’t good for his health. Gandhi replied, “I cannot tell him that. But you may bring him back in a few weeks and then I will talk to him.” The mother was confused and upset and took the boy home.

Two weeks later she came back. This time Gandhi looked directly at the boy and said “”Boy, you should stop eating sugar. It is not good for your health.” The boy nodded his head and promised he wouldn’t. The boy’s mother was puzzled. She asked “Why didn’t you tell him that two weeks ago when I brought him here to see you?”

Gandhi smiled and said “Mother, two weeks ago I was eating a lot of sugar myself.”
