Tenets of classical leadership

As I look at the tenets of classical leadership, the one that stood out the most is that "Leaders control students and staff or all employees". Maybe it is that word - control. It sounds too much like being tyrannical or domineering. It sounds more like the "old days" where the boss was the boss and employees were not allowed any input. That is not the way we are successful in the 21st century or in an educational setting. I realize what they are trying to say because a leader handles all personnel issues. However, if stated that way, I feel the employees would not see their situation as a collective, collaborative responsibility as Lambert feels a quadrant 4 school should have. What would be a better way to word that? Leaders lead staff is one way (but sounds funny) or leaders guide staff has more of the participatory feel to it.
The most important of the tenets would be that "leaders manage a rational system of management...”. I think a good management system takes in all of Lambert's leading activities as stated in figure 1.2 (p3). Good management includes modeling, coaching, scaffolding, articulation and exploration. To improve on one's management style, reflection is then needed. Good teaching is also good leading which in turn is good management. As teachers we manage our rooms every day taking into account routine, personnel, outcomes and actions. Good teachers are good leaders?
Leaders have superior expertise and information. On what topic do leaders have superior expertise? Model teachers should have expertise in their field but does this make them good teachers or good leaders? I think it is more important to be life-long learners on all subjects and open to learning from others rather then thinking you have the superior knowledge.
