elph got my meaning pretty well. But here's the thing - leadership isn't really something anybody wants unless there's some kind of merit that accompanies it that's different than what other workers (who don't share that responsibility) have.
In any society that isn't capitalistic, anybody who actually wants to lead is basically a psychopath in the making who would be a threat to the system. It's a grab for social power and benefits that your neighbors, coworkers, etc. don't have.
One issue we have in society (in general) is a lot of people in leadership positions who don't really want to be leaders, but who are also incapable of being good leaders. And you can thank the Peter Principle for that.
