Oh and don't discount 'civil and rhetorical' which can be
pernicious and severe. Per Alphonse Capone, "You can steal
more with a pen than a gun."  The modern applications of
that usually start with, "For the children...".

Frankie???

It's a self esteem thing. When people take directions from someone
with low esteem it makes them feel important. It doesn't seem to
matter if the directions are forced on them as in schools, or
voluntary as in social groups.

I think leaders are generally people with low esteem who need
followers to make them feel important.

It's not, "I'm important so I will lead you." It's more likely, "I
need to feel important, so follow me."
