Shakespeare-Who is a better leader

I think the best leader out of Brutus, Cassius, and Antony would be Cassius because Cassius is just a whiner while Brutus is kind of dumb and, Antony is pretty much a theif. I would follow Cassius because there aren't that many bad things about a whining leader then someone who isn't smart and someone who is a theif. Like one of the bad things that might happen is he might whine and not get the problem fixed but if it were Brutus then he would probably try to fix it but might get it wrong and mess things up more and Antony would probabbly get it done by getting other people to help and then find away to gain things from those people by doing that.

Isn't Cassius the one who conspires against Ceasar and plants the idea in Brutus' head to get rid of Ceasar? He was effective...he used other people to accomplish what he wanted to get done. I don't think I like his character or values. We should never follow a leader who is not virtuous, that also goes for friends and following the crowd. Following a leader just because they are a leader is unwise, only support those who are worthy of that support. For example, Hitler was an excellent leader, but not a righteous or virtuous man. Many people followed him and were led astray. They now regret their actions. If nobody followed Hitler would the horrible crimes have happened? I think not. Hitler needed people, followers, to carry out his evil deeds.
Many people become leaders, exceptional people become leaders of character...exemplifying values.
I can see you thought about this one.
