Title based leaders feel everyone will fall in line because of their title. They think they are leading because they are in charge.&nbsp;But a necessary condition for leadership is trust, not a title. You have to earn trust.

Titles and trust

To be accepted as a leader, you have to prove yourself.&nbsp;People will only follow you if they believe in you, and see that you are working for them. They need to know that your leadership will create something that will continue.

Sufficient conditions

One of the sufficient conditions of leadership is legitimacy. But titles do not confer legitimacy.If your team, organization, or country doesn't view you as legitimate, you will have a tough time getting anything done.

Legitimacy

There is a difference between the necessary conditions for leadership and sufficient ones.For instance, in war, it is necessary to know the capabilities of your enemy and their positions, but it is not sufficient to win a battle. Being in a position of leadership is necessary to lead an organization, but it is not sufficient to get people moving towards a common goal.&nbsp;

Conditions for leadership

"Colonel Graff: You have a habit of upsetting your commander. Ender Wiggin: I find it hard to respect someone just because they outrank me, sir." - Orson Scott Card *** Many leaders confuse necessary conditions for leadership with sufficient ones. Titles often come with the assumption people will follow you based on a title.
