“… After a certain level of experience has been attained, the Ninja gains the ability to employ powers that in many circles would be considered almost psychic.  The charisma of such a fighter is such that he attracts to himself, without effort, a body of followers.  These followers may appear as students or associates, and they are completely loyal upon initiation.  They may band together for a common goal or seek counsel; but in either event, they will remain loyal only as long as the behavior of the leader is constant…”

I can apply this last phrase to many things in life.
