Yet, not all punishers are similarly effective. Here, we present evidence from a behavioral economic experiment that tests the effect of leader strength on follower cooperation. Results indicate that strong leaders with a more dominant reputation (acquired through their highly punitive history of behavior) significantly increase follower cooperation. This pattern emerged regardless of whether these strong leaders were (a) assigned to groups, (b) chosen by followers through bids, or (c) leading in times of intergroup competition. Altogether, these findings offer support to the notion that despite the greater costs they may inflict on followers, strong leaders are also able to bestow benefits on groups, which may explain why they are preferred in general and more intensely during times of dire need.
