A jurist, he stands out for the radical nature of his reflections on the progressive disappearance of the State in favor of the "community" defined by race and its "living space". A brilliant official of the SS - he ended the war like OberfÞuhrer (general) - he fed the Nazi reflection on the adaptation of institutions to the Great Reich to come - what structures and what reforms? Returning to civilian life, he soon created in Bad Harzburg a management training institute which, over the decades, welcomed the economic and business elite of the Federal Republic: some 600,000 executives from the main German companies, without counting 100,000 registered. in distance training, have learned, thanks to its seminars and its many successful manuals, the management of people. to choose the means to be applied.
