his ship, the Victory was so badly damaged it had to be towed back to England, just saying.

on topic, by what criteria do you judge a top leader?

That is because his ship faced the full fury of the combined fleet on the approach as his was the lead ship and the first to break the line.

Leading from the front is my criteria.  We'll never know yours I guess, but I suspect the leading criteria for you would be "American".

Sorry Furby...didn't notice your mention of Nelson. :)

I am curious as to why so many people choose Julius Caesar over Augustus?

JC did a brilliant job sorting the Gauls out, but from what i understand (i am no expert), on the whole it was Augustus who set the foundations of the Roman Empire and managed to balance the support of the senate and people.

On another note, who are your worst leaders in history?  I find this much more difficult, a few i can think of off the top of my head: -

Mussolini
Nero
Nixon
Pol Pot
Charles I
