RE: Truth is the Authority, Not 'Authorities' That Are the Truth
The most frustrating people I have worked with are the ones who clamor for authority, yet shirk the responsibility that supports it. This is not exactly in line with what you are saying, but at the same time it is.
Truth is the foundation for authentic authority.
Responsibility is also the foundation for authentic authority.
The shirking part, what do you mean? Yes, to be truly authentic is to be in alignment, balance and equilibrium with with truth, justice and morality. And to be responsible to that duty ;)
Leaders should feel the weight of responsibility more than the power of authority. When leaders exercise their authority to fulfill their responsibilities, that is proper. When they exercise their authority simply because they have the power, that is an abuse.
