whoever said god needs to re-read the question.
i like the FDR call, he was a fantastic leader, and he did it in modern times and in the face of great adversity.
i want to say Da Vinci, because i find him to be the most fascinatingly brilliant man to ever live, but i'm not sure about his leadership skills
and of course there is George Washington another great leader, BUT i think i'm gonna have to go with queen Elizabeth I
she was an amazing leader and did it for near 60 years. her empire was vast and progressive, and she knew shakespeare. works for me!

Bill Gates changed the World and so will be , if he is not already , a historical figure .
He is a school drop out , and the worlds richest man ,
His wealth is enough to give him power beyond belief yet he donates half of it to charity , his power he uses in a parental fashion , he takes a genuine interest in relieving the suffering of others , he believes in freedom of choice .
Look at your computer he has given you every possible option and most importantly he and no one else has ensured that you can block anything that offends you .
An open minded easy going leader with enough sense to promote morals but not preach them , he'd get my vote .

Albert Einstein. A man of vision and with sufficient disinterestedness to make the right decisions based on the evidence rather than any religious or political dogma.
