The Power of Charisma

Research in the past few years has focused on why people blindly follow charismatic leaders despite their irrational and destructive behaviors.

A great example is Adolf Hitler, a well-known leader who continues to be the focus of many documentaries today.

Germany’s history reminds us to be mindful when selecting leaders, the ones who genuinely prioritize the well-being of all people, regardless of race, caste, or religion.

Leaders shouldn’t just use charisma to impress people, like Hitler did. They need to lead with honesty and take responsibility for everything they do.

Psychological Profile Of Adolf Hitler

Famous Harvard Professor and psychoanalyst Walter C. Langer worked on Hitler’s psychological profile during World War 2.

In 1972, his findings about Hitler’s leadership and the complete psychological picture gave clarity about what made Hitler’s personality so influential for people at that time.
