Heh heh. Unfortunately not everybody is a natural born leader. Quite a many people need leadership training in one form or another to ever become one. This episode wasn't, in that sense, so different compared to the bug valley arc, which gave Shino leadership training (succesful in that sense), or the curry of life arc that was supposed to give Neji the same sort of practice.

Well, I'm not saying any underlying facts like this would make the episodes any better, though.
