A good leader is someone who is responsible, kind and dependable.Washington was a good leader at the Siege of Boston. He was a good leader in the siege because he was able to stealthy take a whole bunch of cannons and put the to good use. He made it possibly for his men to have hope that they might actually be able to win. He easily made the British leave the place that they were at.
One part where he is not showing good leadership was his strict leadership. Washington had this one guy get lashes just because he stole some food from another soldier. But then he asks for help from his fellow soldiers and he gets shot because Washington thought he was going to mutiny against him. Washington did not care about the fellow. He only care about stopping mutinies and keeping himself safe instead of just listening to a poor persons word. He wasn't nice and he shortened the peoples food down. They were starving and dying of thirst
I do not think that Washington was a good leader because his soldiers couldn't even rely on him to supply the with things that they need. He kills innocent people when he hears the word mutiny. He should not have been able to command that army because he was basically leading them to death, meaning he put them in harsh conditions
