Explanation:

Examples of leaders who act differently to what they say are corrupt police officers. Police officers are leaders in the enforcement and abidance to the law. When a corrupt police officer goes against the law in letting criminals go free or in arresting innocent people, then their credibility is destroyed. This creates a lack of confidence in the ability of such a leader to be an effective leader.

A corrupt police officer who goes against the law takes away my trust in him and makes me see him as unreliable and unprofessional.

Such leaders would find it difficult to regain the trust their followers had in them because they have proved themselves unreliable and ineffective in their service to their followers.
