I think there are a couple of problems, and I don't know how solve either of them. 1: no one likes to be taken for a chump, and to show them they have been following a leader who has terrible traits gets their back up.
2: Most people think things like this are normal, so it isn't until afterwards, when the effects are seen that anyone says, "oh, that's what was going on."
It's a cassandra problem.
The best thing I can see to do about it is to take on each problem, as it comes, and solve that. Sort of like excising tumors in the hope the cancer can be prevented from metastasizing.
