Fuhrer Principle

The Fuhrer Principle was a leadership idea used by Nazi Germany, emphasizing that ultimate authority rests with a single leader, the "Führer." Under this principle, the leader's decisions are final and should be followed without question, centralizing power and reducing checks and balances. It fosters a top-down command structure where loyalty to the leader is paramount, often leading to authoritarian governance. Essentially, it promotes the idea that the leader embodies the nation’s will, making their directives the sole source of legitimate authority.
