Wasnt much of a leader, couldn't even get reelected.
If you are actually leading people, they respect you and they will gravitate to you naturally.
And btw, there is more to being a leader than just showing up.
If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin
Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard
