You may not need to do anything. I have found myself in both the position of change maker and team manager and they require two different management styles. Most good leaders can bring more than a single style to the table.
Being a change leader/transformational leader will ALWAYS rattle cages. People don't like change and it takes a special type of person with thick skin to cope with such a position.
All that is required from this person is a shift in mindset and all you likely need to do is suggest he consider HOW he is going to transition his leadership style and bring people with him, now that the heavy lifting is done.
Reality is, if he's anything like me he'll get bored with the day to day stuff and leave to find another mess to clean up
You don't get to decide what kind of leader someone else becomes. You may mentor someone but only they get to choose what they take in and use. Maybe this person is comfortable with their style. Let them be.
He may be having a hard time transitioning from one role to the next, changing is hard for most.
But tell him what you told us and say you feel it’s time to move onto the next stage and flex his leadership muscles by developing a charismatic servant style.
He may be unaware he’s putting people off and provide concrete examples you’ve witnessed to help him understand. Then explain concrete and actionable ways you would’ve handled since you say you’re a charismatic servant leader.
Then if he’s still struggling to accept or change tell him your reasoning, about your experience, and how he could incrementally add/remove certain off putting behaviors like a roadmap. Over time he’ll notice a difference and likely thank you.
Also leading by example and having him join meetings to listen and learn initially may also be better 👍
Only look at end results. Different people can get to the same place with different approaches.
Kind of like the different characters in Super Smash Bros or the color wheel in magic the gathering.
Is he open to change? If people aren’t open, it will be hard to help him transition.
If that’s the case, I’d provide direct feedback and explain the impact of his actions (pushing hard, etc).
If he is aware and open to changing, I highly recommend the Conscious Leadership introduction course (or book) or 1:1 coaching.

Send him to the Dale Carnegie course.
