5 Things To Learn From The Ruthless Mongolian Warrior 'Genghis Khan'

One among the most fearsome conquerors in world history, Temujin, famously known as
Genghis Khan is regarded as a second god for all Mongolians. This founder of the Mongol
empire had nearly acquired over 12 million square miles of land territory, the largest
contiguous domain in history.
Though combative and bloodthirsty with a sole aim to expand his territory, Genghis Khan was
a fabulous ruler with some incredible leadership skills. He eradicated slave torture, united
many disparate tribes, hated aristocratic privileges, enhanced women rights, encouraged
contacts between the East and the West, developed trade and built the first international
postal system.
Here are 5 important things one can learn from this ruthless king of the Mongol dynasty.
Daring Attitude to Accomplish his vision
Genghis Khan has never forgotten his rough childhood. From losing his father at an early age,
expulsion of his entire family by their own tribe and foraging for survival, to observing the life
of a slave with his wife being abducted by a rival clan; the warrior had everything in mind and
waited for the right time to seek revenge.
His vision of expanding the Mongolian empire and skewering all his enemies, has been truly
possible only due to his dare-devil attitude.
Righteous Ruling without any Disparity
Though deadly on the battlefield, Genghis has always been a fantastic king. Having united all

the steppe tribes into one territory, he was the ruler of over 1 million population.
Various revolutionary inventions have been made by Genghis like the adoption of a writing
system, protection to foreign ambassadors, freedom to observe any religion and maintaining
a righteous rule all through the empire.
Encouraging Real Talent, irrespective of all concerns

The Mongol emperor was always forward in recognizing skill and talent. He usually promoted
his officers based on experience and mastery, rather than ancestry or caste.
Most of his front-row generals belong to the armies of his former opponents. After defeating
those concerned kingdoms, Genghis recruited the highly skilled into his army.
Staying True towards the Better Half
Genghis Khan's wife, Borte has been forcibly kidnapped by a rival clan and kept sustained for
over a period of time. After attacking the concerned opposition, Genghis finds his pregnant
wife and accepts her with open arms, though she observed sex slavery.
Despite knowing the fact that it's not his baby, he welcomed the boy and raised as his own.
This one instance can determine the true character of this world's most ferocious leader.
Ruthless Aggression During War Times

For sure, he was the most dread-some warrior on the battlefield and rarely left a score
unsettled. But, Genghis Khan always offered a chance of peaceful submission to all his rival
kingdoms and didn't hesitate to conquer them with immense bloodshed, when opposed.
He was impartial in the assault on opposite armies, vanishing them pretty convincingly. As
told by ancient records, the Mongolian war skills have reduced the world's entire population
by 11% at that time.
Really, a universal warrior and the founding father for all Mongolians.
