...leaders to be open, followers must help. They must pay serious attention to the issues, for otherwise leaders have no incentive to take them into their confidence. Followers must be willing to forgo the cliches and platitudes that an indifferent or impatient public almost forces its leaders to utter. On the personal side, followers must also be more willing to accept their leaders as they are and less ready to buy the tiresome public relations conventions that require the American politician to be always one of the boys and hide every trait that might cause alarm?from intellectuality...
