So this is since the beginning.
Cain, nimrod, mosheh, gideon, shaul. These the people looked up to and followed them instead of yahweh.
The leaders job is to feed the flock by teaching them to have a relationship with yahweh. To always go to him and study his word to know what to do for themselves. Each member of the congregation should have a living relationship with elohim.
Unfortunately it happens the other way where a group follows the leader instead of yahweh. It is easier to listen to the leader than to hunt to find the answer for yourself. And so yahweh said he gave us labor for our good but we always try to find the quickest way or a shortcut if possible to get to the goal in the shortest time. Most of the time this means we don't take the time to develop our own relationship.
