The moment someone steps into leadership, a power imbalance appears, and that’s natural.

What matters is what you do with it. The mistake many people make is confusing this power difference with ego imbalance, or a difference in personal worth. This can cause them to believe they are more important than the rest of the group.

A mature leader knows this:

Power imbalance does not require ego imbalance.

You can guide without dominating.

You can decide without needing to feel superior.

A good leader is mature and wise enough to understand that having power does not make them better than others. They see leadership as a temporary role meant to serve and support the group, and the cause. However, when people become too attached to the title or role, they often end up feeding their ego instead of truly leading.

Leadership, at its core, is a form of service, a willingness to carry weight for something larger than yourself.

those who forget that -who become fused with the position- often lose sight of the very people they’re meant to serve.

This doesn’t always happen consciously, but if one is not vigilant and honest with themselves, the unchecked ego will gradually extend its tentacles.
