Magnanimity is the habit of leaders to strive towards great things. They strive for these achievements, not for their personal gratification, but for the good of the entire population. For example, the aspirations to be a world leader have been a constant trait in all recent American leaders (Mulgan 18). In addition to these aspirations, leaders are expected to show humility and to accept the role of the masses in the achievement of these objectives. Don Quixote demonstrates huge ambitions for the Spanish people and humility in his quests (Saavedra 14).

However, they also serve to illustrate the preferences of contemporary societies with regard to true leadership. [...]
[...] However, democratic processes imply that leaders are made. In the book, Don Quixote attempt to take leadership, an impossible task since he was not of loyal blood. However, the popularity of the book implies that the people believed in this kind of leadership. Judgment, emotional and behavior virtues Leaders are also expected to show maturity in all aspects of their lives and leadership (Pless 58).
