> Leading (helping, serving others)

Helping and serving others is not leading at all. And leading is not helping and serving others.

If you're ever in a management position, I hope for your sake -- and your subordinates' -- you outgrow that notion.

You can be helping and serving without having any leadership impact or role. Completely. Overwhelming majority of people who help others or server others are not leaders. Helping and serving others will not put you into leadership position nor proves you are capable of leadership.

And while good leaders help on occasions, they are not serving not the bulk of that role does not consists of helping and serving.

The concept you are looking to read up on is servant leadership. It's entire thesis is that a leader serves those "below" them.

Necessary but insufficient.

at a minimum, a nice jewish boy from a podunk town in a roman backwater province vehemently disagrees with you. He went pretty far, too!
