I don't mean from like 1970, I am talking hundreds of years ago. I know there was Saladin in the Middle East. Then there was Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan. Are there any other historical figures like them?

I don't think Saladin reaches up to the heights of Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan.
Napoleon might. Belisarius was of the same level, but he was a general..not a king.

Julius Caesar.
Napoleon.
Frederick the Great.
Patton.
Rommel.
Heinz Guderian.
MacArthur.
Musashi,
Admiral Lord Nelson.
David of the Isrealites.
George Washington.
Chaka of the Zulus.
Robert E Lee
I deliberately leave Eisenhower off the list, because, although famous, he was demonstratedly promoted beyond his capability. Montogmery was also famous, but only got that way by being inthe right place at the right time.

J. Robert Oppenheimer, head scientist of the Manhatten Project. Despite the fact that he was a communist I believe he was a genius. Along with Teller, Ulam, Seaborg, Fermi, and with military coordination by General Leslie Groves. Some of the above persons weren't involved directly however made significant contributions.

Read the Art of War by Sun Zhu Patton Read it as well as Washington and it is now required reading at West Point
It is applicable to many aspects of human relations. Business is only a second to war among others.
