You said exactly what I'm trying to say, only much more concisely! Yeah, what he said ^^^
Basically, there are certain things we take for granted in our complex society that simply wouldn't happen if there were no leaders. And sometimes, it's better to follow than to lead--it allows you to participate in something you may enjoy but know nothing about how to really pull it off, so you take directions from the people who do know. And maybe those same people might be following you in another matter where you are the relative expert.
