• reframed problems in order to meet seemingly insurmountable challenges

• built alliances by using his strength to generate trust and respect, not just fear

• established identity and "branded" himself a unifier, thus keeping the home base secure while continuing to expand his empire

• recognized and assimilated the cultures and symbols of different peoples, becoming a powerful and trusted figure everywhere he went
