If I pay a mechanic to fix my car, that ain't them leading. If I hire a politician to enact my will, that isn't them leading. You don't have to be the one personally doing the job.

And just what is their job? You don't "hire them" to "enact [a specific] will", but to take charge of things for the body politic that their constituents can't individually solve as effectively. You elect them to analyse problems or opportunities for improvement, pool resources and insights from others, propose a course of action and coordinate the collective effort to solve them.

That is leadership. It's not rulership, nor is it strict servitude, though it is a service to their community by leading the way to improvement.
