Leadership is a journey of discovery. It is the expression of a person at his or her best whose aim is to transform something for the better and to develop this potential in others. It is not a solitary pursuit but one that harnesses the energy of those around you. He has accepted the responsibility of being the facilitator and image to model. We put trust in our elected officials, especially if they were the ones we voted for.
So the book asks why we feel especially disturbed? It can be answered simply, but the emotions can feel complex. If someone is accepting the responsibility as a leader they must be a role model that everyone congregates towards. It's a leaders' obligation to operate at their fullest capability and with honesty, its their responsibility because that's why they were appointed the position. People feel that they are capable of making the hard decisions and operate at the highest standard of judgement.So when they lie or distort the truth it reflects a bad image among the followers. They no longer have the ability to hold trust which is a key quality a leader must have. They hold them accountable for all their actions as if they were friends or family and they don't accept failure. Lying is failure. Distorting the truth is failure, and in our society failure by leadership is not accepted by any means.
