Well, obviously Egwene doesn't want to be (seen as) a tyrant

ToM (An Invitation) - 'The world as it was cannot be ours any longer... Was it ever? The Black Tower bonds Aes Sedai, the Aiel no longer revere us, the Windfinders have hidden their best channelers from us for centuries and are becoming increasingly belligerent. If we try to hold too tightly to all of this, we will either become tyrants or fools, depending on how successful we are. I accept neither title... We must become the source that women look to, all women. We achieve that by not holding too tightly, by bringing their channelers to train with us and by sending out most talented Accepted to become experts in the things they are best at.'
Now, how can people make entire posts about Egwene being power-hungry and a tyrant with quotes like this? It's absolutely mind-blowing that people can come up with opinions that are contrary to a character's own established and openly spoken PoV on the said issues. Learn the damn English language, and read the books.
That means she could be overthrown. She wants what the Tower has always wanted, manipulate all groups according to her wishes.
We have this from ToM
No, Amys, Egwene thought. I will not tie you in bands of steel. I'll use lace instead
I suppose that means Egwene is going to tie all channelers securely to her but do it so that they won't notice it and thus can't fight her. That's how the WT has always wanted to do things.
(I don't mind, I mostly like Egwene)

Precisely; no one paints themselves as a villain in their own life story.

So seeing the need for unity is bad? And where does she say anything about controlling them?

I'm sure Osama bin Laden thinks he's doing the right thing, too.
