Can it be anyone? Absolutely anyone? Then I choose Saladin/Salahudin, from...um, well, the Crusade-ish time. He fought against Richard the Lionheart, but they both respected each other. If memory serves, he was leader of the Ottomans. He was well-known for both his military skill and his mercy, and his people loved him. I enjoy the stories about him, like when he sent his own physician to tend to King Richard when he heard he was ill...
I'm sorry, if you meant more current era, I'm hopeless there.

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt to name three in the U.S. A great leader is someone who can inspire people to solve a great task. All three did just that, FDR twice (Great Depression, WWII). Other countries great leaders include Churchill. On the negative side you have such as Mao. You need not be a good person to be a great leader.

Gandhi, Martin Luther King, William Wallace, Nelsen Madella, These were all men who inspired people to follow them and changed their country, without having a source of power other than their own person qualities
