I think you can have a dictator with good intentions, who is an amiable enough person, like Sir Nicholas II, the Tzar, as opposed to someone like Hitler. Thing is, countries aren't easy to run alone, so Well-Intentioned Autocrats/dictators lose the public's good opinion through mistakes etc. and they are viewed as tyrants.. So, in conclusion, to be a good dictator you have to be perfect, because you are held accountable for EVERYTHING that goes wrong. The slightest mistake turns you into a Bad Dictator. It's an open ended answer, somewhat, but was that what you were looking for?
