Power distorts a person’s sense of reality when someone holds absolute or near‑absolute power:

People around them stop giving honest feedback

Advisors become afraid to deliver bad news

Criticism is punished

Praise is exaggerated

Over time, the leader can start believing they are invincible or destined to rule indefinitely. Psychologists call this hubris syndrome.
