You touched on a very powerful topic good friend. In my opinion, sometimes it's about knowing when to step up and when to rely on others who can guide us better. Not everyone is to be leader because leadership has qualities if a person doesn't possess it, they should just follow someone who does, period
Sometimes, whether skilled or not, leadership is a must. Best learn how to manage oneself in those situations - just in case.
I believe you've got a deep point there brother, leadership is a must, to some degrees we're all leaders of our own lives
