Yes. The manager. The officer. The bureaucrat. The prefect. All of them are endowed with institutionalised power to coerce you into acting against your own interests, the interests of your community and the interests of your society.
This is what any given hierarchy will call "leadership."
Lol! "Bosship," perhaps?
We don't actually have a term to describe that in the English language as far as I know... and I don't think that's any kind of coincidence, either. After all... institutionalised power cannot be threatened by things we don't even have a word for, can it?
