Jesus didn't aspire to leadership??

Ruth Tucker says Jesus was a failed leader, (not a failed Messiah, mind you) but that's ok - He never aspired to leadership, He aspired to legacy, and in that He is and was incomparable.

That Jesus was a failed leader both by example and by teaching is something we already know—at least unconsciously. Jesus taught that the first shall be last; take up your cross and follow me; to be a minister or to be great in the eyes of God is to be a servant. His teaching on leadership was upside-down and backwards. Indeed, it was no leadership teaching at all. We all know that, but we easily try to fix Jesus’ teachings or put the prefix servant in front of the word leadership. But the effort falls short.
