The Throat has its many voices,
here it says,
'I lead'.
This is the gate of manifesting influence.
This is not a gate of primary action.
Gates of the Throat that can be defined directly to a motor,
are a minority (20>34, 45>21, 12>22 and 35>36).
The remaining seven gates are primarly for verbal manifestation.
'I lead' often is little more then averbal claim.
THE LAW OF FRICTION,
WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE,
THAT ENGENDERS TRANSFERENCE AND THUS INFLUENCE.
Gate 31.1: Manifestation.
Influence cannot exist in a vacuum.
Exaltation:

The natural expression of leadership.
Detriment:
The absorption of light, that in darkness can only promise manifestation.
The unnatural expression of leadership.
Gate 31.2: Arrogance.
Independent action without guidance.
Exaltation:
The dedication to higher principles that cannot wait for consensus.
Leadership that cannot wait for consensus.
Detriment:
A reasoned arrogance that out of nervous tension jumps the gun and often misfires.
The drive for expression that cannot wait and may cost leadership.
Gate 31.3: Selectivity.
Exaltation:
The ability to carefully assess and choose the proper influence and to tailor one's behaviour accordingly.
The capacity to lead enhanced through association with the proper influences.
Detriment:
Qualitative selectivity with the risk of a runaway enthusiasm that may lead to humiliation.

Gate 31.4: Intent.
The success of influence based on how it is perceived.
Exaltation:
Public acknowledgment of a nurturing and protective influence.

Gate 31.5: Self-righteousness.

However, when the development is complete,
the extremely difficult and generally impossible task of externalizing the influence.
A specialization that demands that one leads oneself.
Detriment:
A deep focus on personal experience that is self-fulfilling and has no external ambitions.
A lack of ambition where one is content to lead oneself.
Gate 31.6: Application.
Exaltation:
Actions which match the words and thus guarantees success.

A superficiality in application that borders on hypocrisy and is justifiably treated accordingly.
The hypocrisy according to leading in words but not action.
