If you are impeccable, then there is no disconnect between Heart, Mind, Body and Spirit. If you do what you were meant to do - and that should happen to be be a leader of people (or situations) - then humility and leadership are not mutually exclusive and in fact are essential to one another; one cannot exist without the other.
If your actions are saying that you are not being humble, then perhaps you need to examine your definition of "humility".

I always thought it was a little silly and childish. Even as a child.

That's why I chose the word "Warrior." Anyone can walk the Path of the Warrior. Gender has no bearing. Some of the most Powerful Warriors I know are women. BUT, not all Warriors are Leaders at all times. Knowing when to follow is probably - as you noted - one of the most important attributes of leadership.
