A few years back in Ottawa, Canada, a high tech mogul won the mayoralty on the run-it-like-a-business platform. Homelessness? He proposed building tourist kiosks in the places where homeless sleep, such as beneath bridges. Council? He said he could only implement his agenda if all of the 30+ councillors thought like him. Not "agree with me" but "think like me", a purposeful use by an autocrat. He lasted one term, thankfully, losing his second try with only 24% of the vote.
