A
alienated
💡 Explanation:
Alienated means to cause someone to feel isolated or estranged, which fits perfectly with an autocratic boss who creates distance even from supporters. 'Differed from' means disagreed, 'scolded' is too mild, and 'liked' contradicts the context of someone who's autocratic.
