The Top 10 Most Influential Leaders

#7 Gustavus Adolphus

Swedish King

Gustavus Adolphus was trained and groomed by the king Charles IX to assume the crown. The future King learned courtly responsibilities but his devotion was to become the commander of British forces and therefore concentrated primarily on the education of military leadership.  At the age of sixteen Gustavus commanded Swedish troops against Danish invaders at East Gotland. The parliament was deeply impressed and waived the age requirement and allowed the young warrior to assume the throne of Sweden. He organized the strongest army of the early 17th Century courageously led forces to the front in every battle and earned the title of “Father of the Modern Warfare”. Due to these facts he remained on 7th in our ranking.
