“Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: ‘the teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy loads and put them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and tassels on their garments long, they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues: they love to be greeted in the market places and to have men call them ‘Rabbi’

…The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Mathew 23:1-13

Wow… If you have read this far you are either Mr. W or reallllllly interested in what is to be said here. A leader must not do things for men to see, do what he says and he must be humble. There are other things to being a leader, this is just some aspects. In the Iliad, there are two clear types of leaders. The people person who asks your feelings and then acts and the person who views the followers a pawns on a board. Achilles is a peoples’ person, but he is loved, not trusted. Agamemnon is the other type of leader. He is in turn trusted, but not loved. There are MANNNNNNY ways to lead. If you follow the above, to me, you are a good leader.
