Buddha Shakyamuni: Leadership
When animals are crossing a ford,
if the one in front goes crookedly,
all the others go crookedly.
So too, among human beings,
when the leader behaves unrighteously,
other people behave unrighteously.
If the leader is unrighteous,
the entire country is miserable.
From Anguttara Nikaya
