The short answer to the question is that you are expected to lead your team. You already know this and I suspect that the question really is - "How are you expected to lead a team?"
Any person that is in a legitimate leadership role is in effect in a service role. Presidents and kings and politicians etc all have one role in common and that is to serve their subjects, citizens and country.
You as a team leader, like it or not, but your role is to serve your team. You will only succeed if your team succeeds, therefore it is to your benefit that you serve them well.
How? Help them grow their business. Think about your own sponsor. How did he or she help you grow your business? It is most likely through training, encouragement, being supportive, being a role model and lead by example - these are all service roles. These are probably what you yourself expected from your sponsor!
Had your sponsor threatened you or waved a big stick over your head telling you to work, I doubt very much that you would have stayed at SFI this long. You would have bolted long time ago.
Don't left this happen to your team. Don't let them bolt. Serve them well and be a good leader using the strategies of 'Being an Awesome Sponsor' and more. They will in turn reward you well. Lead them as how your own sponsor would have or should have led you.
