My observation is that most people want to follow leadership that has sufficient gravitas. Once people discover that their leaders are superficial lightweights any credibility they had crumbles.
The bible does teach us to follow those that lead but with multiple qualifiers. Obviously we do not follow those that violate the Scriptures or our conscience or do not have the character to be leaders as described in the Scriptures. Those who do follow leaders who violate the Scriptures and their conscience can easily become shipwrecked in the faith.
