Wise Leaders are able to inspire without being an overwhelming presence. Americans have never liked government intrusion preferring the government to stay out of the bedroom, away from their bank accounts and preferably not to be seen. But if this is not the case, most Americans prefer a compassionate ruler to a despotic one. The least liked rulers seem to be those who are deceitful. A good ruler will inspire people so that they will feel things are their own ideas and when something is accomplished will feel proud of the work as if it were there own.
