You are a leader if you have followers. The difference between a leader and a manager is based on the reason people follow you. You are not a true leader if people follow you mainly because of your title or position. Managers get things done by telling people what to do and by giving orders. People follow good leaders because they want to not because they have to.
To Be A Leader You Must Influence Others
Selfless and charitable service is the best way to influence someone else. Honesty and integrity are two character traits that will increase your influence over others. You will have an almost impossible time gaining the loyalty of anyone if they think you will deceive them.
The author of the millionaire mind and millionaire next door reported that the millionaires he interviewed said honesty and integrity was central to business success. They said you can't be successful and don't deserve success if you are not honest.
