of the world's nations into two opposing camps: the Allies and the Axis. Spanning much of the globe, World War II resulted in the deaths of over 60 million people, of which about half were Soviet, making it the deadliest conflict in human history.

Managerial Lessons to be learned from the greatest

tyrant of the world“The leader of genius must have the ability to make different

opponents appear as if they belonged to one category”.

Adolf Hitler may seem an evil and a terrifying man, but he was a man with a mission and vision. His passion, dependability, and confidence made Germany a powerful nation.One of Hitler quality that made him a well-known leader is his dependability. By having someone depend upon you makes you feel powerful or even generous.Confidence was a rare quality that led him rising to the power and popularity. Adolf Hitler would do anything to rise to the power and popularity, even by lying to bring his inner confidence to the power.

Discipline:

• Since Childhood Hitler had Discipline and regimentation under the watchful eyes of teachers at school and his strict father at home. There is anecdotal evidence that Adolf's father regularly beat him during his childhood, it was not unusual for discipline to be enforced in that way during that period.


9

Punctual and hard worker

• Hitler was one of the most punctual people Germany ever produced. He never used to be late or absent for any meeting. Also before any public presence Hitler used to practice his speech many times with his photographer to get best motivating snaps.


10

Vision:

• Hitler knew that the next level of war weapon will be of chemicals.

• He supported chemical warfare. Some reports says Hitler was first to have a nuclear weapon also.


11

Determination:

• He wanted to be the most powerful person in Germany and also wanted to make Germany as the most powerful country in the world.

• In spite of being in prison for more than one year Hitler didn’t let his determination fade. After being released Hitler continued his movement indirectly, as he was prohibited to make any public summit. But after getting public support Hitler became chancellor of Germany and later the undisputed leader.


12

Strategic Planning

• Hitler followed through with his plan and repudiated the Treaty of Versailles. At first he tried to keep Germany's rearmament a secret but by 1935 he proudly displayed Germany's new army, navy and air force. European nations did nothing to enforce the treaty, leading Hitler to conclude that he could begin to create his vision of a new German nation. In1936 he reclaimed the Rhineland from France and in 1938 he annexed Austria to Germany. France and Great Britain agreed at a meeting in Munich to the annexation on the understanding that Hitler would make no more territorial demands. The Munich agreement only made Hitler more convinced that he could continue his expansion. Within months German troops had marched into German-populated areas of Czechoslovakia and in 1939 Hitler annexed all of that country. Britain and France finally reacted when Hitler's armies invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. War was declared, leading to the Second World War that would last until 1945.

Organizing:

• Hitler was discharged from the army in March 1920 and with his former superiors' continued encouragement began participating full time in the party's activities. By early 1921, Hitler was becoming highly effective at speaking in front of large crowds. In February, Hitler spoke before a crowd of nearly six thousand in Munich. To publicize the meeting, he sent out two truckloads of party supporters to drive around with swastikas, cause a commotion and throw out leaflets, their first use of this tactic. Hitler gained notoriety outside of the party for his rowdy, polemic speeches against the Treaty of Versailles, rival politicians (including monarchists, nationalists and other non-internationalist socialists) and especially against Marxists and Jews.


15

• The DAP was centered in Munich, a hotbed of German nationalists who included Army officers determined to crush Marxism and undermine the Weimar republic. Gradually they noticed Adolf Hitler and his growing movement as a vehicle to hitch themselves to. Hitler traveled to Berlin to visit nationalist groups during the summer of 1921, and in his absence there was a revolt among the DAP leadership in Munich


16

People Management: • Hitler was very famous among his people.

He used to be in them and treated them as a family. He played with their children and enjoyed with them. This lead to his popularity, his people were ready to die for him


17

Problem Solver:

• He had an amazing power of concentration. His judgments are quick and decisive.

• He acts more like a big brother to his staff than as a Fuehrer and manages to endear himself to Hitler was able to penetrate complex problems and reduce them to a few simple, fundamental factors.


18

• He prides himself on this talent and has said to various people: “I have the gift of reducing all problems to their simplest foundations ...A gift for tracing back all theories to their roots in reality." each and every one of them.


19

• But, underneath, he is every inch the Fuehrer. He displays extraordinary courage and determination. He shows a great deal of initiative and is willing to assume full responsibility for the wisdom of the course he has mapped out.


20

Overconfident

• Hitler was no doubt a man of caliber with excellent cleverness and management skills; still he lost due to his overconfidence. He attacked both England and Russia together without realizing environment condition of Russia which caused it’s lost to Russia and England both.


21

Summary

• Adolf Hitler may seem as an evil and a terrifying man but a man that well-known wouldn't be in history without his passion, dependability, and confidence to make Germany a powerful nation.

• To get Germany to become a powerful nation did take both negative and positive thoughts upon his actions. In my opinion, Hitler was man who fought till last man with the help of his military, economy and nothing other than his qualities.

• As being a man with qualities no other than dependability, passion, and confidence Hitler would not have led himself to victory, popularity, success and rise to the power. "Dunkirk has fallen... with it has ended the greatest of world history.

• Soldiers! My confidence in you knew no bounds. It was all for his mission and vision to become an excellent leader but do you think all of these devastations were required"
