I'm not sure where the harsh approach to leadership started but, somewhere along the way, someone told people that they had to be hard on their employees. This leadership approach includes behaviors like shouting at employees, getting angry, expecting them to prove themselves or generally dominating and proscribing everything they have to do.
This approach has predictable results: Employees who come in solely for a paycheck and are scared of the boss. An approach I've found works much better is to move away from fear-based leadership to leadership where people are inspired to do work. This can be achieved by leading in a way that allows people to think and act on their own and that rewards them for the things they do well. It's also a positive idea to provide opportunities for education and growth.
Take care,
