Um, not quite what I was looking for but I guess you could look at it symbolically like a good leader lets the people make good music/good deeds.
Therefore it sufficeth me that I tell you that two thousand of these young men have taken their weapons of war, and would that I should be their leader; and we have come forth to defend our country.
If you are good leader than people will respect you and trust you to lead them.
Thoughts:
In order to be a good leader we need to earn peoples trust, love and devotion. People are not going to obey you if they don't trust you, think of it this way if some random bum told you to do something you probably would not do it because you did not trust him. We earn peoples love by being loving, love others and they will love you. You need to be inclusive, don't leave others out you need to care about others. In Elantris Reoden gets to be a leader over others because his goal was to make the peoples lives better.
