The first one I was thinking about is:

VALUE-TAKING LEADERSHIP

While showering it dawned on me that value-taking leaders all use same formulas to sway and manipulate people into following them.

So we could make a new category of value-taking leaders, and share what those techniques and manipulations are.

Some of them:

Fire-starting: feigns being shocked, angry, and scandalized to frame others as unworthy. This is a "power surge", it often dissipates, but some firestarters make it their business to keep a constant fire-engine on
Make up an enemy:
Make up a problem:
Inflates a risk/danger: "you HAVE TO protect yourself" often translates into "you have to keep following me"
Feign interest in serving the followers:

What do you guys think of the "value-taking leadership" concept?
Could it be useful as a note/warning, maybe in the lessons/articles on manipulation or leadership?

I have actual conversations about people in a certain field admitting to me these techniques.
It would be very interesting and relevant to discuss.
I'm a bit afraid to write the details of the actual conversations.
Let's say it's the profession where you should avoid mentioning when looking for houses.
