Adolf Hitler-- The Manager we knew!!!

ADOLF HITLER

UNRAVELING THE MANAGER

The world we know doesn’t like to talk about a person who has done barbaric things or even called as genocidal. Still amidst of all these fuss about the evilness of this man I am writing this article to tell readers about a man’s managerial qualities which were overshadowed by his cruelty and the acts which led to world war. Let’s just drop the idea of negativity and talk about the brighter side of a man who started from nothing and became the dictator of a country which was then one of the most developed nations in the world-GERMANY. His managerial qualities were so promising that every manager should take examples out of it. A person who had nothing in his hand mesmerized the people with his speeches. Germany at that time was devastated by World War I and obviously also with two treaties. 

The economic scenario was bad, 1929 Wall Street crash also hit Germany very badly, hunger prevailed, and unemployment was at its peak. There came this man who not only assured the people of employment but also promised to get them out of their miseries making him look like the Wizard of Oz for German people at the time where everything seemed to go down the drains for them. Hitler was motivated, o yes, he had vision a goal for himself not only to take his country out of the economic misery but also to take substantial and quick decisions to take Germany to top of all other developed nations. 

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. Hitler was a captivating public speaker. He would enrapture crowds with his vision and sense of purpose of the nation. Adolf Hitler successfully used propaganda to bring the whole nation under his will. People Management was one of his great qualities; He used to be in them and treated them as a family. He played with their children and enjoyed with them. He was a good Problem Solver; he had an amazing power of concentration. His judgments were quick and decisive. His acts were more like a big brother to his staff than as a Fuehrer and manage to endear himself to, Hitler was able to penetrate complex problems and reduce them to a few simple, fundamental factors. Hitler was excellent with strategies and planning. He 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.

 In the end, I would say 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 a man who fought till last man with the help of his military, economy and nothing other than his qualities. A great example of optimum use of resources. 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. I would like to end this article with his quote which in itself is a perfect example of motivation, courage, right attitude and leadership which is essential for a good manager.
