Abstract
The paper looks at how democratic leaders, such as Herbert Hoover and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and autocratic leaders, such as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, dealt with the many problems of the interwar years. The paper shows how democratic leaders utilized the law for the good of the people, whereas autocratic leaders utilized the law for the good of themselves and their nation as a whole, without regard for the average citizen. The paper discusses how while Stalin and Hitler were inhumanly awful men, they also implemented economic policies that boosted productivity and lowered the unemployment rate, and while Hoover and Roosevelt worked towards the good of the people, they also used tactics to forcefully obtain their goals for the country.

From the Paper
"The years directly after World War One were a time of rebuilding and renewal, in order to recover from the staggering loss of men and destruction caused by a war that had been unexpectedly and astonishingly colossal. The consequent stock market crash could not have occured at a more unpropitious moment. The necessary reconstruction of the world and the economic crisis of the Great Depression created an overabundance of challenges for nations' leaders. Both democratic leaders, such as Herbert Hoover and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and autocratic leaders, such as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, dealt with the many problems of the interwar years with an arsenal of solutions that were both similar and dissimilar."

Abstract
This paper discusses leadership, noting that leadership serves the needs of different organizations in different ways. The paper looks at how military leadership is centralized and autocratic, but discusses how in the business world, more people are using a collaborative form of leadership such as servant leadership. The paper addresses how to change autocratic leadership to servant leadership, as may be necessary if a military leader moves into the business world, or if an autocratic business leader recognizes the need to change to a servant leadership style.

From the Paper
"Leadership serves the needs of different organizations in different ways. Military leadership is centralized and autocratic. Autocratic leadership is also found in the business world, but more and more that approach is seen as less effective than a more collaborative form of leadership such as servant leadership, the latter a concept developed by Robert Greenleaf and others who reject the value of top-down leadership such as autocratic leadership and instead see leadership as a process involving collaboration and guidance. This raises the question of how to change autocratic leadership to servant leadership, as may be necessary if a military leader moves into the business world., or if an autocratic business leader..."

Abstract
The paper looks at military leadership and relates that, although autocratic leadership is found in the business world, this approach is seen as less effective than a more collaborative form of leadership such as servant leadership. The paper explores how to change autocratic leadership to servant leadership. The paper discusses the differences between demanding compliance and offering guidance and seeking collaboration.

From the Paper
"The definition of leadership offered by the military is reasonable and applies to all leadership styles: "Leadership is influencing people---by providing purpose, direction, and motivation---while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization" (Department of the Army, 1999, Chapter 1). The issue then becomes how to influence people, whether by fiat so as to demand compliance, or by offering guidance and seeking collaboration. Those trained to gain compliance one way may have difficulty shifting to a different means of leading."

Abstract
This paper alleges that each leadership style is important and effective depending on the organization, the circumstance and the task at hand. These management styles include: autocratic, transformational and transactional. The paper asserts that understanding which model will work best for a particular organization is a function of an adept manager who knows their industry, pool of employees and the tasks at hand.

From the Paper
"There are three overarching schools of thought highlighting best management approaches in business: Autocratic, Transformational and Transactional. The difference in these approaches has to do with leadership style and employee expectation. In every business, it is expected that a chain of command exists; and, that superiors communicate orders and subordinates receive and execute orders accordingly (Spencer). This paper asserts that each management style is appropriate and "best" depending on the organization and task at hand. To explore this hypothesis, this paper applies each of the three management styles to two..."

Abstract
This paper explores two particular styles of leadership; that of autocratic and democratic. It examines the pros and cons of each, representing how it works in solving real life problems within organizations. The paper discusses how organizations such as the Department of the Navy need to be able to rely on the strengths of both, and more styles in order to cope with the various problems subsequently encountered. The paper contends that synergy proves essential when dealing with such a wide range of problems, along with minimizing the effects of the cons of all styles.

From the Paper
"In 1990, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics officially disbanded. Since 1990, the Soviet Union has passed into a short-lived commonwealth and finally into a region of independent states still in large part influenced by Russian hegemony in economic development, size, and communications. The Soviet Army is disbanded, and occupation troops no longer keep order in Eurasia, but an ever-weakening Belarus applied for reunion, and Chechnia found that bombs are still the classic Russian answer to dissidence.

The Soviet Union may have passed, but the Soviet system remains. It is not a political system; rather, it is and was an intrinsically Russian system of autocratic rule (Lowenhardt 52-53). Styled Soviet by the Bolsheviks in 1917, it was the natural 20th century evolution of Czarist Russia. Its current.."

"Dictatorship, as a form of government, has fallen into opprobrium in the course of the 20th century. This was not always the case. "Dictator" was originally a Roman constitutional office, exercising absolute powers for a limited term during emergencies. Later, with repeated renewals of authority extending it to an indefinite term, it was used or abused by Julius Caesar before his assassination.

In modern times "dictator" has come to mean an autocratic ruler whose power is not hereditary or otherwise traditional in origin; that is, in contrast to an autocratic monarch. This writer is not aware of any ruler of modern times who has self-adopted it as a title, but in the earlier part of the 20th..."

"This essay will discuss what Niccolo Machiavelli meant by his term "New Prince." It will consider how this new prince differs from previous or contemporary rulers. It will also consider the kind of politics that Machiavelli prescribes in discussing the conditions necessary for the emergence of a new principality.

Machiavelli introduces the concept of the "new prince" in Chapters V through IX of The Prince (pp. 19-39). By a new prince he means a man who has become an autocratic ruler, or monarch, of a state that had previously had some other, unrelated ruler or some other form of government. In these chapters, he discusses the various paths by which a man could become a new prince: one's own abilities, that is, military conquest; fortune, that is, appointment by a new conqueror; treachery, that is, by a coup d?etat..'"
