Leadership leads people to be better. Not to benefit the leader, but the people. That is what leadership ought to be. When the people are better off, naturally they may want to reward / compensate the leader, but that comes afterward.

However what is common is that people want to lead because they want to get the reward more than helping the people be better.

A church leader ought not be like that.

"A church leader must be without fault;
he must have only one wife,
be sober, self-controlled, and orderly;
he must welcome strangers in his home;
he must be able to teach;
he must not be a drunkard or a violent man,
but gentle and peaceful;
he must not love money;
he must be able to manage his own family well
and make his children obey him with all respect.
For if a man does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of the church of God?
He must be mature in the faith, so that he will not swell up with pride and be condemned, as the Devil was.
He should be a man who is respected by the people outside the church, so that he will not be disgraced and fall into the Devil's trap."

(1 Timothy 3.2-7 GNB)

Every Christian ought to be like that, not just church leader. But leader especially ought to be a role model.
