10.  Great will
 Ability to meet his goals
 To manipulate people to achieve a vision.
 Hitler’s effectiveness is his ability to manipulate
people into thinking that he was their friend (or at
least not a threat) in order to achieve his goals

11.  Not having sound moral judgment and
allowing personal interests to dictate his
governments’ actions
 Not trusting his subordinate’s judgment in
their own sections of expertise.
 Being overtly authoritarian

12.  He committed suicide as they were losing the
war against Russians.
 He and his wife consumed cyanide pills and to
be very safe with it he also shot himself.
 His body was buried under the bunker he was
staying and was later found by the Russians 10
years later.

20.  Though twisted man was a brilliant, charismatic
leader
 His accomplishments as a leader must be
regarded as great
 The style proved to be very successful when
referring to the definition of leadership that we
have been concerned with this term.
