Its not that you are surrounding yourself by ass kissers, its that its in the very nature of power that people around you will try to profit off this power.
I'm not saying that for a short amount of time a single person cant make good decisions on a large scale. But if this works, it does so because there are checks and balances put in place that limit the power to the position, not the person itself and has means of democratically replacing that person, there is civil control and media control of their actions, etc. Pp.
Its not so much the person that is like the personification of Jesus, can't be coaxed, can't be bribed, can't be frightened, can't be mislead, can't be misinformed in any way, its the system that secures the people of oppression.
Sure you need someone reasonably upright and good for even the best system to work, but if there is no system limiting the power, even the best leader will get corrupted by it over time. We see it everywhere in history, time and time again. Power corrupts.
