Agile Leaders

I seem to be reading more about leadership these days. I am struck by the number of books (maybe my reading is skewed) that promote the concept of leader rather than manager. They (the books) also seem to think that the dominant form of organisation where managers tell people what to do are failing. A common theme that is coming out is one where the leader is a servant of the team. I think this is something that fits nicely with the Agile principle "We value people over processes", however perhaps we need a new principle. "We value leaders and coaches over managers".
