You cannot change the world alone, that’s an infantile Randian fantasy.

You need help from other people to succeed.

You don’t need to be an absolute despot to achieve even the most ambitious goal. Look at NASA and what they manage.

NASA sort of is against your point right? the Apollo program had lots of deaths and accidents and unsafe working conditions but it went to the moon. Maybe NASA now has good working conditions and employees have dignity but they haven't done anything nearly as impressive to the wider public
