feivel, squeak, that’s true to some extent but not universally so. Moshe Rabbeinu, the ultimate leader & greatest navi, had to deal with those who attempted to rebel against him. When the mishkan was finished, he accounted for all of the gold used in its construction. At first there was some gold which was not accounted for, until he realized that this was the gold used to make the hooks for the amudim. At this point, the medrash concludes, bnai yisrael were satisfied–implying that until then some suspected that c”v Moshe had skimmed off the donations to the mishkan to enrich himself. This may be due to the human tendency to want to “take others down a peg”; the greater & more distinguished the leader, the greater the desire to take him/ her down.
That’s why in bircas hamazon we ask that we find favor in the eyes of both Hashem & other people. The latter doesn’t necessarily follow from the former, so we daven for both.
