Investigative Interrogative Profiling
Name and Surname
Abstract
In this report the profile of Hitler and Mussolini were presented and compared. Charismatic, Transformational, Narcissistic and Visionary styles of leadership were briefly introduced. As a result, an analysis of Hitler’s or Mussolini’s traits assigning them to any of these styles has been possible. The comparison of their activity as leaders has been carried out. In the conclusion of this report, the final verdict over their suitability as leaders has been included.
Introduction
Hitler and Mussolini were raised in the same times. Hitler was born on the 20th April 1889, while older Mussolini was born on the 29 July 1883. As history has taught us, it was Mussolini who influenced Hitler dictatorship-based policy. Therefore it is apparent that Mussolini must have reached power first, and it happened in 1922 when he became the Prime Minister of Italy. Eleven years later, in 1933, Hitler was nominated as the Chancellor of Germany. There are many similarities in these two infamous individuals, yet there are some differences.
It might be the fact that Mussolini was not a good war leader. In fact, he won most of the crucial war encounter with his enemies with help of German army (Carpi, 1994). Hitler wanted to become architect but lacked academic experience; he expressed interest in arts. On the other hand, Mussolini was not really the type of a top-student and it happened that he had been expelled from schools he attended.
However, they share much in common. They both wanted to be perceived as chosen individuals, as leaders who are artists (Stephen Reicher, 2005). Also, both of them promoted their power in a way of totalitarian leadership. By totalitarianism, we understand the unlimited authority and power. And clearly, Hitler reached that level when he destroyed any political apparatus that could be able to bring him down as the country leader (Heifetz, 1998). Similarly, after Mussolini called himself
