Bad leaders can be found anywhere, even in Social Media. I don't think that bad leaders necessarily start out with the intention of being bad, maybe it is a certain disconnect that they have from their followers.

I especially think that these two are most relevant:

1) "Don't bother with the emotions of followers. It's also called don't deal effectively with an issue that causes controversy and pain and just hope it goes away."

2) "Here's a bonus tip. Make frequent changes to your instructions. Your followers need to learn how to make changes every now and then because of the uncertainty..." When things go wrong it is time to quickly address that situation and takes steps to ensure that it doesn't happen again and that those who have been disenfranchised are given satisfaction. It can be changes in rules and regulations and a stated code of conduct for respect.

A not-so veiled reference to the Hitler post...when things go awry in a community people expect the leader/leaders to step up to the plate and address the issue at hand. When it doesn't happen, a community can become fragmented and worse, fall apart at the seams.
