Is the desire for leadership connected to our own vanity?

In our society leadership is seen as top position and in some cases it is even seen as a position superior to others, making leaders feel superior to their followers. So some people aspiring to be leaders, not all of them, want to be leaders because of what that will say about them so in that case it is related to people’s vanity. But some people aspire to be leaders because they want to improve the organization and not because of what that will say about them, in that case I don’t think it is related to someone’s vanity. So I believe it depends on the person’s motives to be a leader.
