I couldn't answer this. I think leaders in general should do what they believe is right, but it just won't work if there isn't a sufficient level of support.

Therefore a leader will need to do both, depending on the circumstances.

The intelligent leader will try to change the will of the people to align itself with what they believe is right. A good leader will try to do this by honest debate. A bad leader will try to do this by deception and playing on fears.
