Determined - He was determined to take over Germany and kill off all the Jewish people while attempting to still have many followers and a strong army.
Confident - Hitler showed he was confident leader by acting like he had no fear which helped his followers stay true to him and not stop supporting him even though he was ruthless and unkind.
Manipulative - He manipulated everyone else into thinking that his way of taking over Germany is the right way when they shouldn't be thinking that killing millions of people is OK.
Intelligent - He is an intelligent man in a sick way but to get as far as he did with the way he did it, like killing millions of Jews to start a single race and staying sure of himself.
Most people would perceive intelligence, confidence and determination to be positive attributes. They are certainly traits that lend themselves to strong leadership. Identifying these characteristics in an individual such as Hitler must make us question the way people are taught to use their skills and think hard about how to ensure people growing up in this world view their ethical and moral responsibilities.
