"You take any 100 randomly selected people and put them into a room: A handful will instinctively "rise" to be the leaders -- some people feel compelled to rule. Another handful of the people in that room will just as instinctively want nothing to do with these self-proclaimed rulers (I'm afraid I'm one of them). The rest of the folks in the room will go along to get along, believing that someone has to rule and they don't want it to be themselves."
