I believe the answer is:

dominate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'inclined to be overbearing' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'admit one may be' is the wordplay.
'may be' indicates an anagram.
'admit'+'one'='admitone'
'admitone' is an anagram of 'DOMINATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dominate that I've seen before include "Be lord over" , "Rule" , "Govern" , "Tower over" , "Master" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
