Ideally you are self-aware and understand that its not your impressive title that earns you respect, it’s your behavior. Think about it. Your team members are working in their current compacity for a myriad of reasons. Their reasons may be as simple as putting food on the table for their family. Your fancy title, although impressive and important to you and your esteem, does not inspire some of your team members to produce quality work or to invest in your vision.

A few insights

Everyone has the capacity to contribute to the overall organizational goals. Everyone is valuable whether they are supervising others or only themselves. Titles don’t equate to effective leadership skills or competencies. Your individual behavior is what makes the difference. Effective leaders who seek a level of commitment and investment from others and who intend to operate in an excellent manner understand that they must do those things that they expect others to do.

Your perspective is not the only perspective and those things you value are not the only things to value.

While in the workplace focus on the shared organizational values. Do not lean completely on what you believe is the best path for everyone.
Exemplary leaders set the example by aligning action with shared values. Through their daily actions, they demonstrate their deep commitment to their beliefs and those of the organization.

When your team is gauging your level of commitment and investment to the organization and to them; consistency and integrity is very important. They want to know that your words and your behavior are aligned.

Leading by example is much more effective than leading by intimidation or directives.

Ideally, you want people to commit to completing their individual or group tasks because they choose to do so.

I'm sharing you pretty good nuggets.  You're in for a treat!
