As Eisenhower said "Leadership is the art of getting someone to do what you want done because he want to do it."
Patton was lousy at leading his bosses towards his goals, even when his goals clearly had the potential of great rewards. That a sign of a really ****ty leader.
Monty was able to lead people towards his goals, even when these goals were dubious. That's why he was a better leader than Patton.
