Effectiveness Mistakes

EFFECTIVENESS 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

MISTAKES 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

HITLER’S DEATH

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.

I THINK EVERY GIRL’S DREAM IS TO FIND A BAD BOY AT THE RIGHT

TIME , WHEN HE WANTS TO NOT BE BAD ANYMORE…

CONCLUSION

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.
