Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.I just want to point out the obvious difference here.

The sage stays behind, thus he is ahead.
He is detached, thus at one with all.
Through selfless action, he attains fulfillment.
~ from Verse 7 of the Tao Te Ching ~
Which type of leader would you most be willing to follow?
