Charisma and oratorical skills

Hitler's charisma was a major reason how he obtained strong German support. In addition, he was a strong speaker with confidence and belief in himself.  He dreamt big, which is also a plus to his charisma. Before many of his speeches, he would have prepared and practiced his speeches. He is also a master at reading the audience's moods and appeared sincere to people. And during beer hall speeches, he would use the drunken state of the people to his advantage, which added to his oratorical skills. Hitler also knew the people's concerns and addressed to them. Hitler's charisma and oratorical skills was a major reason on how he rose to power.

[Hitler's policies] were half-baked, racist clap-trap... but among the jumble of hysterical ideas Hitler showed a sure sense of how to appeal to the lowest instincts of frightened masses.

Skillfulness at making deals with politicians

One of Hitler's leadership abilities is the skillfulness at making deals with politicians to advance his own position. In 1932 elections, Hitler wanted to be chancellor but President Hindenburg distrusted him and allowed his fellow conservative, Franz Von Papen, to be chancellor. In November 1932, Hitler saw that the votes dropped and realized he would have to make a deal with the conservations as it seemed unlikely that he would be able to gain power through elections. In December 1932, Hindenburg chose Kurt Von Schleicher to be chancellor, but he was soon forced to resign as he too lacked support. Therefore, in January 1933, Von Papen and Hindenburg reluctantly invited Hitler to be chancellor. From there, Hitler acted decisively to take complete control over the government.
