To domineer is to try to run other people's lives: you decide, you push, and you do not stop to ask how they feel or what they think. The word always shows disapproval. It is not a strong leader in a good way; it is someone who will not share power. A teacher in charge of a class is not domineering; a teacher who never lets students speak, and gets angry when they disagree, is. The verb is a little old-fashioned and a little formal. You are more likely to meet the adjective domineering. In a story or a complaint you might read that someone 'domineered over' a family or an office. In everyday talk, people more often say boss around or push people about. It is nastier than just being in charge, and it is not the same as dominate in sport or at work, which can simply mean 'be the strongest'.
