Jesus was talking to the people concerning the Jewish leaders who felt they had the right to tell the people what to do. They themselves didn't follow scripture and when they made laws for the people to follow, they exempted themselves. As far as what Paul said, I checked three versions of the new testament and none of them used the word "leaders", but rather "guides". A guide or a leader of that type is not a leader of the people, but rather teaches according to what scripture says and claims no authority in himself. These are two different circumstances as Jesus was telling the people not to be like the Jewish officials who claim to be leaders. What version of the bible are you getting the word "leaders" from?
