Hitler? A leader?

Adolf Hitler can be regarded as one of the worst human beings born of all time, but why do we hate him so much?  That question is pretty straight forward and might stir up a great deal of controversy but overall the general answer can be simply summed up as "he killed millions of innocent people." What led him to get in this position of power? It's because he was able to lead millions of  people to follow him.

I think Hitler is the perfect example of a transformational leader.  A transformational leader creates a vision for his followers.  This is exactly what Adolf did.  He created his vision of domination throughout the world. At first all of Germany thought he was a great country icon, but what happened that led the entire world to hate him? Hitler will never go down in history as a great man or icon because of his actions, but at the time many would have begged to differ.  He instilled a key part of transformational leadership style, building trust in others. This trust led the German regime to be one of the most hated countries in the world at that time.  I bet now that thought WWII still lingers in Germans today.  What do you think?  I know this is a very controversial topic, so please keep in mind the millions of lives that were lost to this socially deranged man.

  1. No doubt Hitler was able to "lead" others. Although very sinister acts, he was very persuasive in obtaining followers. He made large number of soldiers act in illegal, immoral and cruel ways merely so they could get a pay check. This exemplifies a very disturbing attribute of leadership...when do you stop?

    This reminds me of a concept learned in another course of "escalation of commitment." Once a soldier was committed to Hitler's regime...they were doomed. There are harsh consequences for those that turn on his orders.

    Truly great leaders instill positivity in themselves and others (mainly followers). This was the flaw present in Hitler's example. His "power" escalated to the point that his followers couldn't think for themselves, or wouldn't, for that matter. It was as if Hitler's orders were words from God. True integrity and leadership arises from the individual(s) that stands up to the harsh, sinister and wrong acts and makes a difference for the better.

  2. Did you know there is a 12 word phrase you can say to your crush... that will trigger intense feelings of love and instinctual appeal to you deep inside his heart?

    Because hidden in these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's impulse to love, admire and guard you with all his heart...

    This impulse is so built-in to a man's brain that it will make him try harder than before to make your relationship as strong as it can be.

  3. As stated by Stanford Medical, It is in fact the ONLY reason this country's women get to live 10 years longer and weigh 19 kilos lighter than we do.

    (And actually, it has totally NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and really, EVERYTHING related to "HOW" they are eating.)

    P.S, I said "HOW", not "WHAT"...

  5. This way my associate Wesley Virgin's adventure begins in this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.

    As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "mind control" tactics that the government and others used to get whatever they want.

    These are the EXACT same methods many famous people (notably those who "come out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become wealthy and famous.

    You've heard that you use less than 10% of your brain.

    That's because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps that conversation has even occurred IN YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years ago, while driving an unregistered, beat-up bucket of a vehicle without a license and in his pocket.

    "I'm very fed up with living check to check! When will I get my big break?"

    You took part in those types of conversations, am I right?

    Your own success story is waiting to start. All you need is to believe in YOURSELF.
