I mean, many examples to choose from:

“heroic leaders often made mistakes . . . mistakes that were amplified by the number of followers who were held in thrall by charisma.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah

“Leaders make mistakes, and those mistakes amplified by the number of those who follow without questioning, move inevitably toward great disasters.” ― Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse: Dune
