What’s behind the need of control?

What’s the driver behind the need of control in autocratic command-and-control management? Here’s what I found in Engaging the Powers: Discernment and Resistance in a World of Domination by Walter Wink.

“Why do you need to control everything?” he was asked.
“Because if things go wrong I’ll get blamed.”
“What fear lies behind that need to control everything?”
“The fear that everything will just crumble. That I’ll be a failure who’s not loved.”
