Successful dictators tend to be similar. They have an enormous capacity for management, exercising control (maintaining their status and position through manipulation and every means necessary), enduring unfavorable circumstances, achieving (real or fake) results. All of it usually driven by ideology and amplified to the extremes by anxiety/paranoia. Oh, and just a dash of pride, just a tiny bit more than needed to kill/destroy people who could hurt them or their dreams.
