Personally, I think that high government officials should lead by personal example and high ideals. The media will stop at nothing to achieve and spread any tiny, little information about any government official, especially a high ranked one. As a leader, naturally the official would need to lead by example so that the people under him can observe and strive to be like him or her. Anyone in the government is usually expected to have high ideals, although this is actually rarely found. The people under the government official more than likely voted for him or her for his ideals and motives. If the people didn't like or agree with the ideals, then the person wouldn't be in the position of power. Realistically however, I don't think that either of these things are actually achieved in the political world. Especially with the power of media, one never knows the truth from the fake. But in an ideal society, the higher official would, of course, lead by example for the people.
