Nee in particular had a big misconception regarding leadership. He equated leadership and authority. Of course, authority is a characteristic of leadership. But it's not even the first thing that comes to mind in most discussions of what being a leader involves.

My impression is that Nee was viewed as a leader even when he was a young adult, so for all we know at that age he might have viewed being a leader as a role involving nothing more than telling others what to do. At least that is the type of view that some of his ministry seems to reflect.
