If one wants to adopt this style then he must adopt certain techniques. In his interpersonal behavior he must try to remain inconsistent, so that people can not understand his style. Announce a meeting without agenda and try to make it very important. Use people's mistakes to create fear as if a doubt had emerged about their performance. Appreciate a good performance but remind people to always perform outstandingly. He should create a perception among employees as if their destiny is under his control.
