strong-armed
This term carries a heavy connotation of aggression and unfairness, suggesting that a desired outcome was reached not through consensus or logic, but through the application of pressure. It is frequently used in political, diplomatic, or corporate contexts to describe tactics that border on bullying or exploitation.
While it describes a method of achieving a goal, it is almost always used pejoratively. To describe a similar but more neutral or positive application of power, words like "assertive" or "decisive" are preferred. The term evokes the image of physical force, though in modern usage, it typically refers to psychological or systemic coercion.
