If so, the faker will know and therefore not be sincere. He may appear sincere, however, if he knows he is not - he is not. In true leadership, sincerity comes from within – it cannot be faked.

Truly, life is a stage, as the great bard put it succinctly. And yes it's about perception and to put it more correctly, perception management. For leaders, and governance, it is both perception management and management of the expectations of the government particularly in a democracy that exacts taxes from the people directly and indirectly through every single commodity or service we purchase in the landscape ruled by the law of supply and demand, which you will recall one past and well remembered leader is said to have wanted to abolish. :) But back on leadership in a democratic setting, methinks some of our leaders at times almost sound and act like we are their 'subjects'. I know the operative principle is for leaders to galvanize the consent of the governed, born of respect earned and credibility nurtured with the leader reciprocating with honest service and accountabiliy.
