Great Leaders

In every great leaders life it seems like for those leaders to become great they had to go through some lumps and bumps or setbacks. These setbacks in my opinion are exactly what defines a leader, it makes a leader show that even though they went through some hard times or strife they were strong enough to get through it and set an example for others.I definitively don't think less of a leader that shows weakness or encounters failure. Gandhi comes to mind a great leader and even though he was abused by his enemies and constantly faced oppression he stayed strong and never resorted to violence to obtain his goals.
