I can have a 'family first' policy about how I run my life, but that doesn't mean I might not be a good leader for other families to follow.

  You’re describing a role model, not a leader. You’re not a leader for those other families. You may be a good role model. A more appropriate equivalent would be standing for mayor of your town and saying you will be a good leader, but you will be putting your family’s interests ahead of everyone else.

    That's a very fair point - often those words are interchanged but they are actually different. My analogy was accidentally describing a role model. The mayor analogy is better, but the US President is not actually a leader of any other country, so I'm not sure that one is totally analogous either. Maybe at best the president leads by example, or is a role model, but not actually a leader (from my very limited understanding of world politics :P).
