The personality of M. Bison

Here is a crazed individual, who is not only driven by twisted ideological passion and delusions of grandeur, but also an inappropriate personal concoction of self-transcendence, possibly failing to see the incompetency of his crew due to his own megalomania.

Either that, or he chooses to willingly work their inner flaws as part of a systematic functional design whereby they all adhere to his one-man rule authority, effectively having them being sycophants (yes men) in an aimless pursuit of work / reward complex without them realizing the interpolating consequences that their gainful employment under him [Bison] would have no long-lasting benefit should his vision come to fruition.

Outside of his outward charisma, Bison's calculated agenda, on its face, seeks to place himself at the vestiges of worldy power and global domination over the entire world. While this is true, his deeper goal is to truly control the way people think. He wants all of humanity to "bow down and worship him in humble gratitude in the [his] ever-loving grasp." This attitude towards the concepts of peace and justice, and most especially the very nature of humility, is a perversion of quintessential truths.

Unlike the allies who fought against him, ultimately banding together in common cause (despite being initially disjointed at first), he and his turncoat associates did not actually share the same values with each other, leading to the final showdown in Shadaloo at the film's climax.

Any real victory is only absolutely achieved through humility; everything else is pomp and circumstance without it, intrinsically speaking.

Making the most of any situation and outcome is the healthiest way to go about things when we're personally doubting ourselves or our actions; understanding our own limits and keeping accountability.
