Leadership Lessons from Adolf Hitler:
Adolf Hitler did much evil during his regime in Nazi Germany. Although I do not share his values, but he did do certain things right as a leader to rally a whole nation. Here are some positive lessons that you can pick up from him:
1. Speaking with purpose:
Hitler was a captivating public speaker. He would enrapture crowds with his vision and sense of purpose of the nation. His words moved a country, even the church to believe that they were killing in the name of God. That was the extent of his charisma. While Hitler was a great orator, and that contributed to his ability to capture his audience, it was his deep belief in what he was doing that moved the nation. He gave his nation a new purpose and destiny and they were willing to follow him for it.
As a leader, the strength of your conviction will often determine how far your followers are willing to go through with it together with you.
2. Understanding Human Nature
Adolf Hitler understood human nature very well. He knew how to use human nature to his personal gain and with that knowledge; he rallied the whole nation behind him. You have to understand the thoughts, inclinations of human nature well if you are to be an effective leader as well. This often means a high level of emotional intelligence. Much of human nature can be easily being seen in yourself; especially in your weakness to temptation or any base inclination. You don’t have to study psychology or take a course in human nature to understand them. Often your life experiences might already give you a good clue as to how people behave and how to motivate people.
3. Constant Influence:
Adolf Hitler successfully used propaganda to bring the whole nation under his influence through the constant use of media and communications; he managed to cause a whole nation to think alike to serve his cause. As the propaganda minister in Nazi Germany, Joseph Goebbels says, “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.” (This quote may have been misattributed to him, but the point is there.) There’s a lesson for us leaders to be learnt here. People become what they are constantly being exposed to. If you constantly read, watch and listen to positive messages, you’ll naturally become positive. And it works vice versa as well. We’d like to think that we are thinking independently of our environment, but the truth is that most of us think, act and believe in a certain way as a result of several unconscious cues from our environment. What is the underlying message you portray to your team each day? The words you speak, the actions you take often have either a positive or negative influence on your team.

In today’s ever evolving business world, quality leadership is now recognized as a key factor in whether an organization will ultimately succeed or fail. More and more businesses are now hiring those individuals who possess Transformational Leadership skills to drive their company towards long-lasting success.
Ultimately, a Transformational Leader is one who empowers and develops the people they lead to become leaders themselves, and challenges them to bring out their best and take greater ownership of their work.
We’ve identified 6 Core Values of a Modern Day Transformational Leader:
#1 Community, Cooperation
Fundamental to Transformational Leadership is the ability to foster a sense of community via collaboration with peers and amongst their team.
Transformational leaders value cooperation over competition. They embrace the philosophy that only through cooperation can we create more effective solutions to complex challenges. Transformational Leaders view the world as an Interconnected System and recognize that there is a Natural Order that guides Emergence or punctuated shifts.
#2 Social Responsibility
Social responsibility refers to a viewpoint that an organization or individual has an obligation to act to benefit society at large. Being socially responsible creates trust, a good image and helps to foster a positive reputation for your company.
In order for an organization to be socially responsible, they must adopt a perspective of Wholism and a “Global World View.” Transformational Leaders recognize that the part reflects and contains the whole. They value doing their part to be socially responsible and recognize that this opens up new relationships and opportunities. Ultimately, social responsibility helps to build a foundation of community and a culture that people can get behind.
#3 Service-Oriented Leadership & Altruistic Motivations
Transformational Leaders value service-oriented leadership and are actively involved in creating a better way of life.
Fundamental to this attitude is the underlying principle that they are driven by a connection to a deeper sense of purpose and meaning as a leader. As author Lewis Carroll once wrote, “One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.”
#4 Balance, Equality, & Diversity
All three of these core values of transformational leadership seek to harmonize and unite differences.
Transformational Leaders understand the importance of embracing diversity as a key to co-creative alchemy, especially in regards to Gender Balance & Ethnic Equality.
#5 Optimism Towards Future
Transformational Leaders have a positive mindset and are optimistic yet realistic about the future.
They have an Abundance Mentality, meaning they understand there are always new chances and opportunities, mixed with Idealism, and Mindful Activism.
#6 Whole-Process Learning
Transformational Leaders have developed the ability to utilize Whole Brain

Margaret Thatcher has exhibited mostly traits of an autocratic leader.
In spite of being an autocratic leader she has been able to adapt herself to various circumstances to achieve her desired goals.

Lesson 2 of 4: The Rise of Hitler - Hitler's Leadership Abilities
In this lesson, we looked at the 2nd set of reasons leading to Hitler's rise, namely Hitler's own personality and leadership abilities. Having studied the circumstances in Germany, we now learnt about how Hitler took advantage of the situation to rise to power in Germany.
As my history teacher in Rhodesia reminded us: Beware the victor’s version!
As early as 1930, John Dewey observed that: We are exposed to the greatest flood of mass suggestion that any people has yet experienced.
Propaganda is to Democracies what violence is to Dictatorships.

Introduction
1
It is obvious that the defects in the critical thinking process will cause the rising power of tyrants. If people play the role as the followers who do not have their own critical thinking and share a common identity and support for dictators, they will lead to the serious consequence of tyranny. Followers believe that they are participants in any movements and they are integrating themselves into the collective. This sense of solidarity and subordination is an important component of the dictatorship. These characteristics are reflected in the process of a large number of dictatorships, such as the Third Reich. In Hitler’s Germany, Hitler makes people believe that they have the responsibility to contribute to the rising of the nation, and narrow self-interest should give way to the great goal. The fundamental reason why people voluntarily obey orders is that they have been brainwashed and trained in this way for a long time, which leads to another consequence, that is, people tend to become cowardly and obedient under the rule of tyrants. They lose their ability to think about the behaviors of tyrants in a critical way. However, the White Rose Group in Hitler’s Germany is different from other obedient people. The group members oppose the Nazism, and their behaviors also cause a negative influence on Hitler’s Nazi rule. Therefore, people have the responsibility to think critically and act ethically.
The Analysis of the White Rose Group
The White Rose Group was a patriotic underground resistance organization founded at the University of Munich in Germany during World War II. Its members were mostly students of the University of Munich, led by brother and sister- Hans Scholl and Sophie Scholl (Toby 06). In addition, there were many other members who also contributed to the development of the group, such as the professor of philosophy Kurt Huber, soldier Willi Graf, Christoph Probst, Alexander Schmorell and so on (Simon 42). They came together for their opposition to Nazi Germany's brutal rule and evil war. The members of the group fought against the Nazis mainly by issuing leaflets to arouse the German anti-war spirit ideologically. There were films about White Rose Group in Germany, such as “Sophie Scholl: The Final Days” in 2005. The spirit of the two young people was as beautiful and lofty as a white rose and became a symbol of hope in the darkness. In 1943, shortly after the White Rose Group was founded, the group was informed by Nazis in the school when they operated a secret leaflet dissemination action. The brother and sister were captured by Gestapo. Five members of the group were arrested one after another. Finally, they were willing to awaken the numb soul of the Germans with their own death and sacrifice bravely.
The White Rose Group took measures to oppose the rule of the Nazis with their critical thinking and took ethical action instead of violence. But they found that the whole society did not think about Naz ...

Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

9. Defining leadership…
The activity of leading a group of people or an organization or the ability to do
this.
Leadership involves
(1) establishing a clear vision,
(2) sharing that vision with others so that they will follow willingly,
(3) providing the information, knowledge and methods to realize that vision, and
(4) coordinating and balancing the
conflicting interests of all members and stakeholders.
A leader steps up in times of crisis, and is able to think and act creatively in
difficult situations. Unlike management, leadership cannot be taught, although it
may be learned and enhanced through coaching or mentoring.
10. There are many definitions of leadership that highlight its different
aspects.
John Maxwell, author of “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership”
defines leadership as “influence, nothing more, nothing less”.
He goes on to say: “He who thinks he leads but has no-one
following him, is simply taking a walk.”
This is a functional definition of leadership, one that basically says
that a leader is someone who has followers.
11. Influential
Hitler was influential because he used nationalism as
a tool for igniting the interests of people to follow in his
cause. like Napoleon he was power driven.
influentiality has to do with the behaviours of people
one can manipulate either by sanction or charisma and
Hitler was a man skilled with the sword as well as
words. he was influential because he had a big vision
and people need big visions to be motivated so he
motivated people.
12. Confident
He had a lot of confidence thinking that he could achieve his goals.
Although in the end his confidencee was overturned, he did have it
which is a good characteristic of a leader.
Goal Setter
He set goals for himself and the Nazis. Even though some of these were
very far fetched, he did set them and that is a positive characteristic of a
leader.
Judgemental
He believed all who weren’t Aryan were not needed. Not even knowing
people he based his thoughts on looks and heritage.
13. Powerful
People listened to him. Not many people went against him
because they were afraid that something would happen to them
or their families.
Demanding
He wanted what he wanted and wasn’t going to change
his beliefs for anything or anyone. He thought that he
had all the power in the world and that’s what he was
trying to gain.
15. Public Speaking
Hitler was a captivating public speaker. He would enrapture crowds
with his vision and sense of purpose of the nation.
Public speaking is one of the essential skills of a leader. Whether
you are able to have followers will really depend on your ability to
rally them through inspiration and a hope for a future vision.
You should take time to invest in your ability to speak publicly. Like it
or not, public speaking is one of the most common traits of the top
leaders in the world and if you can do it well, it will serve you and
your team really well.
16. Understanding human nature
Adolf Hitler understood human nature very well. He knew how to
use human nature to his personal gain and with that knowledge,
he rallied the whole nation behind him.
You have to understand the thoughts, inclinations of human nature
well if you are to be an effective leader as well. This often means
a high level of EQ. Much of human nature can be easily be seen
in yourself; especially in your weakness to temptation or any base
inclination.
A good leader understands what he is dealing with in other people
because he sees it in himself.
From that perspective and understanding, you’re able to lead your
followers so much better.
17. Constant Influence
Adolf Hitler successfully used propaganda to bring the whole nation
under his will. Through the constant use of media and
communications, he managed to cause a whole nation to think alike
to serve his cause.
There’s a lesson for us leaders to be learnt here. People become
what they are constantly being exposed to. If you constantly read,
watch and listen to positive messages, you’ll naturally become
positive. And it works vice versa as well.
We’d like to think that we are thinking independently of our
environment, but the truth is that most of us think, act and believe in
a certain way because of our environment.
What is the underlying message you portray to your team each day?
Are you sending positive messages of inspiration and hope, or
negative messages of anger and frustration?
18.
19. What was his leadership style?
Charismatic Autocratic
Visionary
Transactional
Transformational Situational
20. Charismatic Leadership
This type of leadership mainly relies on personality and charm.
Even if one does not have a natural charm, they can still learn
effective ways in which to lead a group using motivation and high
morales. These types of leaders are very good at engaging others and
making them feel that they are an effective and valuable team
member.
21. The most famous negative charismatic leader would
be Adolph Hitler. He was able to make an entire
country bow to their knees and believe the notions
and ideas he had come up with about their German
race being higher and more superior than others,
especially those of the Jewish faith. People were
mesmerized by his speeches and how he commanded
an audience. (Charismatic Leadership)
