Quick Add-on...I find it hard for Adolf Hitler to be a bad leader...If you look at dictionary.com under leader, the second definition states the following...
2. a guiding or directing head, as of an army, movement, or political group
Which Hitler was all of them...head of army, fascist movement(in Germany), nazi group...He was not a bad leader, merely a very crazy person...But that's my opinion...

-why I did not choose Hitler, like many have pointed out he was charismatic and was supported, though he was not moral he did have "leadership", yet he used this leadership unjustly, in evil ways, and radically. Cixi did not have any "leadership qualities", she resisted change and the Hundred Days' Reforms and further weakened China by supporting the Boxer Rebellion. She is a major reason for the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and she can be hardly called a leader.

I'd like to add on to what Mason said earlier about Hitler. He was a great leader. Not saying what he did was right or had any good reasoning behind it, but he got many people to follow him. He was very influential. Hitler always seems to fascinate me and I'd like to see what he thought and read like a personal diary from him..

that was a great test!! (sarcasm)
yea alex hitler was able to influence people, but that just made for a powerful leader rather than an great leader. besides cruelty, he also ran a fascist regime, which means constant warfare which will always have a negative on the country (politically, economically, and on people's lives, which it did on germany,
