It depends on how you classify "great leader" I believe. The most benevolent, intelligent, strong, and probably the most likely to make a good change in the land is Faramir. Okay...what's good about Boromir? He was brave, even though he fell victim to the ring...I guess...and, if you wanted a leader to be like Denethor, Boromir would be your man.

And yes: Denethor sent Boromir to his death because he wanted Boromir to gain glory. You know how Humans, even in LotR, seem to, in general (well, Elves do too...) love glory and bravery and all that!
