Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 18, Verse 43

Prowess, boldness, fortitude, dexterity, and also not flying from battle, generosity and sovereignty are the duties of the Kshatriyas, born of their own nature.

Real courage and real generosity are named together here, not treated as opposing traits.

Krishna pairs battlefield resolve with large-heartedness in charity, showing this role isn't just about force. Real leadership, in this description, includes real care for others too.
