The president like the CEO of a company is essentially the figure head. We know that CEOs dont make one sided decisions. Board members are consulted, share holders are made aware. He/she is controls the livelihoods of many, therefore the many need to be apart of the decisions. This is a democracy
So in this way he is the leader, he has authority, it's just not unchecked authority. Our political system seems to have difficulty with this concept. America always wants to appear strong, but strength is in numbers, not in one solitary person.
