Tywin never yells at Joffrey or threatens him — he simply moves the small council meetings to the Tower of the Hand, his own office. Joffrey can attend, but only if he walks up every flight. Authority doesn't need to announce itself; it just rearranges the logistics so the other person does the work. The boss who controls the meeting location controls the meeting.
