Excellent perspective.  I have never held the title Manager, never been a boss, have never even had the word 'leader' in a title matching my responsibilities. In fact, I've never aspired to be any of those thingsc but I have often been called a servant leader.  That works perfectly for me, because what I capitalize on is my ability to help others so they have more of their own capacity to lead. 80% of my job is making my managers and team members look good so they can lead without bossing.
