Preferred term

tyrannical leadership  

Definition(s)

  • Tyrants, as the Greek philosopher Plato defined them in The Republic, are rulers who look to their own advantage rather than the well-being of their subjects and in the process are apt to employ extreme and cruel tactics. The history of tyrants, moreover, is a product of their character and situation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Leadership; Tyrannical Leadership]
