It looks like, to me at least, that the key distinction between a 'good' leader, such as Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and a 'bad' leader, such as Adolph Hitler, is their methods of provoking loyalty.
King taught peace. Hitler taught fear. Both of those can create an incredible amount of loyalty and solidarity, but the way that people follow these leaders was incredibly different. During the Civil Right Movement, people who followed King, vs. those who followed Malcolm X, where more independent, more willing to fight (peacefully) for their rights on their own and form their own groups. Malcolm X's followers formed closer ties, very rarely acting as individuals, but more as a mob where nobody was in control. Hitler formed armies based around fear and hatred, and very few people in his armies were individuals, with a few very sadistic exceptions.
