After having read The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by Shakespeare, I noticed that the actions performed by Cassius not only took guts to accomplish, but also superb leadership qualities.
Being a leader means choosing what is best for your subjects, thinking issues out before acting, planning ahead, and perhaps being a bit manipulative.
Having a good head on his shoulders, Cassius seemed to have all of these attributes.
When he started his conquest to kill Caesar, he believed that what he was doing was for the best of the Roman people. He told Brutus that he thought Caesar was becoming too ambitious.
Also, he planned out the assassination of Caesar, the great warrior. He and his accomplices decided how, when, and where they would kill him.
They knew that they had better be able to have one good excuse for murdering the most beloved Caesar, which is why they thought ahead.
Cassius was also quite manipulative. He was the one who convinced Brutus of the power he held inside. At first Brutus wouldn't hear the words oozing from Cassius' mouth. But Cassius knew what Brutus wanted to hear and told him willingly.
Cassius, a man of questionable character, had one of the best attributes possible. That attribute was leadership.
