If the leader is expected to make decisions, without authoritarian rule and control through coercion, then they need to do things the people will mostly agree to, so the leader makes decisions based on what people will accept so I guess that removes some weight, since you know the range you need to aim within. That is if you want to be leader and keep the position just by placating and pandering to what the people want. Heading towards more of what's good, right and true isn't always what people want.
