Here is one of the things he said about leadership: “Lead the people by rules and punishments and they will be deceitful (sneaky) and have no sense of shame. Lead them by means of a moral example…and they will have shame and higher standards.” Do you agree with this. Why or why not? Please read page 169 of the handout.
