The Torah teaches the most important element of a leader is to be a Dugma Chai/Living Example; the Talmud-Book of Law relates stories of Rabbis rebuking one another because their actions watched by their students will establish conduct for generations.
The law, no matter how specific, relies upon the moral application overseen by leaders whose integrity is beyond reproach. Arrogance is an unsavory practice.
The Cabala teaches that Moshe who received the Torah from God fell on his face before the word Emet/Truth; the Talmud-Book of Law asks, if Moshe could not stand up to truth than how can we trust the word of Moshe? The answer is simple, the only way to receive truth is through humility and that is why Moshe fell to the ground.
