Do leaders follow orders?

Yes. Many leaders also have leaders to follow and even if they don’t they need to follow the orders they set. If a leader orders their followers to do something then the leader also has to do it to set the example. If a leaders orders something and decided he/she is the only exception to it then I don’t see them as a leader but as a horrible boss with a superiority complex. A good and honest leader worthy to be called one follows the orders and rules she/he sets just like the followers do. A leader that doesn’t follow orders or rules and does however he/she pleases isn’t worthy to be called a leader and will most likely have no followers because no one will admire or respect him/her.
