IMO, a good leader who is true to the cause, e.g. the spiritual agenda versus a personal agenda, does not have to demand followship or submission.
You didn't state your denomination, but the denomination I grew up in is a democracy. The pastor is chosen by the congregation not assigned. Therefore, he or she does serve at the will of the members.
