Personal thought - The principles and ideologies of many leaders are ultimately denigrated or returned to a lower order of influence following the actions of followers transposed into zealots.
Zealots, extremists, fanatics - all alienate supporters, devotees, believers and members alike and true leaders have to be mindful of the diminution of their "public" franchise and the potency of their word(s).

There are many words written about the greatness of leaders, but not so much about their struggles with their own followers, whose visions/motives/ideology evolve and undermine those of their leader.
One simple example could be a leader doesn't like the colour green, so after various pathways of mutation, their zealots start shooting people with green eyes and painting foliage brown.
