You say that like it's a bad thing...

Yes, a warped mind is a bad thing. It may get off drugs, it my have more personal success, it may even become wealthy, but it is still a warped mind. At some level it is a Faustian bargain - when it works.

Yes it does. In the same sense that who is at the top of a nuclear power does make a difference!

As long as the organization exists, it's head is in charge of doing evil to people. Any "good" leadership would shut it down.

Alice felt that this could not be denied, so she tried another
question. `What sort of people live about here?’

`In that direction,’ the Cat said, waving its right paw round,
`lives a Hatter: and in that direction,’ waving the other paw,
`lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they’re both mad.’

`But I don’t want to go among mad people,’ Alice remarked.

`Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the Cat: `we’re all mad here. I’m
mad. You’re mad.’

`How do you know I’m mad?’ said Alice.

`You must be,’ said the Cat, `or you wouldn’t have come here.’

Good leadership? Such is nearly unprecedented!

I can think of only one case where a leader has deliberately shut down his own successful organization on philosophical/moral grounds:

The noted endocrinologist, John Cortelyou, President of De Paul University in Chicago, was elected secretary of a newly founded organization for Roman Catholic scientists. He promptly set about disbanding the group. Cortelyou, whose specialty is the study of endocrine glands in amphibian animals, explained his actions thus: "There are no Catholic frogs."

(although the Huguenots did have their problems with them)...
