CONCLUSION
Clearly, Nikola Tesla was a leader is science and technology. He worked and studied for the pure joy of discovery and for the betterment of human existence. He showed essential qualities of leadership including perseverance, faith in himself and his ideas, and steadfast values - even when others because of professional jealousy or greed attacked him. Tesla persevered in the face of financial and professional adversity and pulled mankind forward out of a world of gaslights and limited communication into a resplendent, electrified world with instantaneous, accessible, world-wide power and communication. As often happens with genius, the world was sometimes slow or reluctant to receive or acknowledge Tesla's ideas. Often, great men are forgotten for a time, but eventually, as the rest of the world catches up, their futuristic ideas are appreciated. Tesla is one of these great men.
