While other leaders espouse a vision or values for the benefit of their followers, Josef Stalin’s leadership was driven purely by an obsessive desire for personal power and control. As he outmanoeuvred his rivals for Lenin’s succession, purged all conceivable internal threats to his totalitarian control and drew on Russian nationalism to repel the Nazi invasion in 1941, Stalin gained in self-confidence and the ability to dominate through a blend of terror and manipulation.
