Good intentions can earn loyalty, but leadership is tested when tough decisions, competing interests and personal emotions collide. Robb’s tragedy is a reminder that character alone doesn’t make a great leader.

Yes. As well as loyalty alone doesn't make a great team.

This was an interesting read. I didn't watch House of Dragon though. If that is where Aragorn story comes from. I agree with the fact that Ned didn't really handle the whole leadership thing well. Not because he was weak, but because he was just too good. As a leader, you need a balance of the both. You need to know when to draw your claws out and when to retrieve. Ned didn't really know that.

Thanks! No, Aragorn is from The Lord of the Rings, two completely different universes and philosophies, which was interesting for me in the first place.

Oh true. You did mention that earlier. My mind was still with Aegon Targaryen. I didn't watch The lord of the rings.
