The Dictator: A dictator boss is the one who thinks that 'empowerment' means empowering management to give orders. He has no problems in making decisions but often ends up in wrong decesions. You will be very familiar with the statement "Shut up and go back to work. I will let you know when I want to hear your opinion." These kinds of bosses actually chew their employees like a drill sergeant. This is the boss who rules by fear and intimidation and is prone to bursts of cruelty when dealing with his employees.
