Adolf Hitler- Good Leader or Great Leader?

As the title shows, I will be talking about the aspects of being a great leader, a good leader and what Adolf Hitler was.


Characteristics Of A Good Leader-

1. Good Values-
A good leader is someone who can be trusted to lead others. They have good character and is honest with integrity. They lead by example and earns the right to be a leader. This is especially obvious in the military where high ranking generals have lead from platoon level all the way up to division level.A good leader strives to be the best and not second or third in their group.

2. Confidence-
A good leader is confident about his own abilities. In order to lead a group, the leader needs to show he or she is confident and able to set directions. He/she instills confidence in others which in turns excels them to do the best for the team.

3. Passionate-
A good leader is passionate about his/her work. Leaders are often asked to be motivators and enthusiastic. Without passion for their work, it is difficult to motivate others to do the same. A good leader will lead by example and be willing to do the dirty work.

4. Assurance-
A good leader needs to display order in chaos. Many times, people look to leaders for directions and instructions in times of uncertainty. They look to seek assurance and security and the leader needs to display decisiveness and positive attitude.

5. Persuasion-
A good leader is able to speak in front of the public confidently and these speeches must be persuasive so that the public will be able to build a trust in this person that he has good hopes for this school or country and that he will be able to do well if he is the leader.

6. Visionary-
A good leader is able to think analytically keeping the end result in mind. A good leader needs to keep in mind the big picture while at the same time, breaks it down into actionable steps for others to follow or perform. He also needs to be able to gauge the progress being made and think about the consequences of every action that he does.

7. Gain Respect-
A good leader also needs to remain calm and composed in the face of uncertainty. Other people will look to him for assurance during times of difficulty. He needs to be decisive and follow through on his decisions.

From all these points that I have mentioned above , can you already see and know which type of leader Adolf Hitler is??

He is a great leader, motivating the Germans to fight and take revenge against the 'allies', who defeated them during the World War 1. His motive was to take revenge and to wipe out the Jews.Not only that ,he also had a vision ,that was to raise German to be a global superpower.He had much more visions and also good communication skills , able to motivate and encourage the German army to move forward when they were facing great difficulties and not just fall back and give up easily.

He was a decorated veteran of World War I, Hitler joined the Nazi Party in 1920 and became its leader in 1921. Following his imprisonment after a failed coup in 1923, he gained support by promoting nationalism , antisemitism and anti-communism with charismatic oratory and propaganda.

He was appointed chancellor in 1933, and quickly established a totalitarian and fascist dictatorship. Hitler pursued a foreign policy with the declared goal of seizing Lebensraum ("living space") for Germany, directing the resources of the state toward this goal. His rebuilt Wehrmacht invaded Poland in 1939, leading to the outbreak of World War II in Europe.

Within three years, Germany and the Axis powers occupied most of Europe and large parts of Africa , East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean. However, the Allies gained the upper hand from 1942 onward and in 1945 Allied armies invaded Germany from all sides. His forces committed numerous atrocities during the war, including the systematic killing of as many as 17 million civilians including the genocide of an estimated six million Jews, a crime known as the Holocaust.
