Lesson
learn from Hitler Leadership
Every leader has negative and positive parts. We have
take both as a lesson, what to do and not to do. In history Adolf Hitler is one
of the most infamous leaders in world history. He was highly powerful
individual, who had strong characteristic of being persistent. Hitler projected
a personalized charismatic leadership, a style that is “exploitative,
non-egalitarian, and self aggrandizing”. He was extremely focused on his
personal control. Hitler was known for heavily critiquing those who reported to
him and became angry and frustrated with mistakes. As a leader, he did little
to build a relationship with his followers, focusing on direct control rather
than mutual communication.
Some of the most
negative behaviours are, he didn’t trust on anyone, he believed he is always
right, power focused not people oriented, and not discuss his vision clearly.
He prefers to hire silent peoples, because they follow him without asking any questions. Basically
he gave contradiction order to his subordinate, to place them into position
where their roles and responsibilities are overlapped with others, which creates distrust
competition and fighting among them, which helps him to maximize his power. He
thought that he knows all things and made a right decision always. For example,
On 1941, after got the victory on Soviet Union (Ukraine, Baltic, Belarus), He
thought that now we had a power to win in every battle with any country and he
decides to attack Moscow, US and Britain, even his Military officers said that we
are not ready for it but he forced it and the result after the battle of Stalingrad
on 1942, he got huge loss out of more than 600,000 soldiers, only 6000 were
returned home. Which shows that over confidence kills you.
He analyses the weakness of his opponents and made
it as a weapon to attack him. For example, at the time of great rescission on
1930, German suffers from great economic problems; at that time he made this
point as a main weapon to attract the people. He dismisses the military contract
to the china and makes a new relation to Japan, because Japan was the strong in
economy. After reading his leadership styles I have learned these things to
make myself strong in the field of leadership.
a. Listen
others to make a effective decisions
b. Clearly
circulate your vision and objectives to your subordinates
c. Analyse
your opponents thoroughly and identify their weakness.
d. Make
a good relationship with your followers.
