From China

During the time period in which Mao was chairman of the People's Republic of China, he was an extremely influential person. He started many theories and strategies for military and his communist believes.

I think he deserves to be on this list because he made many people follow him and obey him. And he even got the smarter ones to be quiet about his ruling in hopes for them not to turn on him. Although he was not necessarily a great leader, he got many people to join with him.
