What have you got against dictators?! I mean, just because they slaughter their own people, and others, and destroy infrastructure by not paying attention to it, and create needless wars, and allow torture and...and...oh well yeah...I suppose those are all pretty good things to hold against someone.

Since we're including dictators now I'd have to say that Deng Xiaoping (IDK about spelling) was definitely a great leader. He made China's doors open to the world and he helped start their prospering economy.
In terms of sheer success, I would have to pick Ghengis Khan, Since he created the largest empire in the history of mankind. However, I feel that the greatest leader ever was Napoleon, because of his enormous success with the incredibly small lot he started out with in life.

Emperor Trajan, commanded and ruled the largest empire in the entire world. And shall always be known to mankind as the ruler of the largest area. However I would have to say the greatest leader is Augusts, the first roman emperor, who united all of Rome together under 1 banner.
Pericles great leader and influential statesman, orator, and general of Athens during the city's Golden Ageâ"specifically, the time between the Persian and Peloponnesian wars. His death is the reason why Athens lost the Peloponnesian wars.
