Live by the sword die by the sword

In roman times this is an expression of how officers and the ruling class rule and govern people

Scripture has also mentioned this as Jesus words in Matthew 26:52--But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword."

If one is a political appointee and made his/her way up thru such process, then dont expect that once the ruling party steps down that a position is still available for the taking.

Leadership Strength

Of all the leadership qualities, honesty and moral strength is the linchpin.

Complete honesty and the ability to be truthful in all your dealings (small or big). Honesty and integrity in the smallest result in honesty and integrity in the biggest. After all, all Big starts out Small. Pay attention to details, because the devil does really dwell on this. Consistency in words and deeds. Letting the yes be yes and the no be no.

On another hand, facing ones enemy (self) is in itself strengthening the moral compass. Having strength does not mean no temptation. It means recognizing temptation to be part of growth and that the ability to handle it matters. (Joseph and Potiphars wife) is a clear scriptural example.
