What Mars in Leo means
Drive as performance, in the noble sense: you work best with an audience, real or imagined, and your effort has production values. Persistence comes from pride, you finish things because quitting is beneath you, and your anger is theatrical but honest: the roar, the declaration, the door that closes with authority. The gift: charisma in action, you make effort look like art and recruit others just by working. The cost: an allergy to criticism, especially mid-performance, and motivation that sags when nobody's watching.
