Overall as an Emperor Qin Shi Huang feared death. It was believed that his so called "harsh actions" were because he lived in fear. His achievements are much more than his defects. He unified the whole of China to bring a peaceful life to his people and territory, how ever he was big on censorship and legalism (the belief the everyone is born evil, so strict laws must be in place). He also would burn books, and bury scholars alive, going along with the censorship. Finding a balance between business foresight, performance, and character. A good Leader has vision, courage, integrity and was focused on creative a good country. Although Qin Shi Huang, did create some bad actions, overall he had a strategically catalysed plan amongst China
I believe that he was very smart and good at what he did. But he also didn't always go around it the best way. he was described as tyrannical by some which isn't exactly a good thing. He was a fantastic leader but quite immoral so overall the bad outweighs the good but only by like 1g. If he just wasn't so cruel know. But know he did what he had to
