5. Adolf Hitler, regardless of his wrong doings and the
obvious evil that he empowered, was one of the
great leaders of our time and changed the way that
our society looked at war. The fact that Hitler came
from a front-line soldier with no real future in a
leadership role to the chancellor of Germany and the
commander of a great army shows his great will and
ability to meet his goals and to manipulate people to
achieve a vision.

6. Overall, Hitler's situational analysis and
leadership style based on the analysis and the
situations that he created for himself make Hitler
a great leader and a great man in the respect that
he turned nothing into something huge. It is
unfortunate that he used his abilities for evil
rather than good, but his accomplishments as a
leader must be regarded as great. This style of
leadership would not be likely to succeed in a
growing, innovative corporation today, but in the
setting that Germany and Adolf Hitler found
themselves in during the 1930's, the style proved to
be very successful when referring to the definition
of leadership that we have been concerned with
this term.

9. Cause of selecting this
leader
• Apparently he was a brilliant orator. It's hard for a
non-German speaker to judge but his speeches had a
real ability to touch the German people.
• He was also a man of extreme conviction, which you
can clearly see in his speech giving even if you don't
understand the language
• He was incredibly single minded. He didn't chase
women, do drugs or abuse his power
• He was really, really committed to making Germany
the world's superpower and committing genocide.
