The True Leader

President Uchtdorf's conference talk The Greatest among You focussed on church service and included an insight that I found particularly interesting:

To be effective Church leaders, we must learn this critical lesson: leadership in the Church is not so much about directing others as it is about our willingness to be directed by God.

Sometimes, I think that "church leadership" might not be the right term for it. Strictly speaking, the church leaders don't actually lead the church any more than our prophet, President Thomas S. Monson, is the head of the church. People don't lead this church; God does. He just does so by proxy and delegation through His appointed leaders. Thus, success in church leadership comes not from being a great leader, but from being a good follower and always acknowledging who the True Leader is.
