I’m not sure how to take your response.

Take it as an invitation not to suggest to me that Hitler was a great leader.

Based on you logic

If you're going to attempt to frame my logic, put it in the context I phrased it in.

“If you’re going to attempt to frame my logic, put it in the context I phrased it in.”

“A big part of what makes a man a leader is where he’s going. If he can get folks to follow him in the wrong direction, he’s not a great leader.”

No problem.

— A big part of what makes a man a leader is where he’s going.

(FALSE) Completely backwards logic. It’s who and how many people are “following” him/her...not where he/she is going.

— If he can get folks to follow him in the wrong direction, he’s not a great leader.

(FALSE) The best leaders have the ability to take large numbers of people the wrong direction. Again it’s the “followiing” part that’s important. The direction is irrelevant to his/her leadership skills.

I do believe jedward was talking about efficiency of leadership, not quality of goodness.

Hitler was extremely good at getting people to follow him. Where he led was not good.
