How many people chose to follow Jobs, though? If you got hired by Apple, you worked for him. Apple didn't have a democratic vote with every single employee every year and Jobs turned out to be the winner... Or are you saying that Jobs wasn't a leader either? Or maybe you mean that a leader is someone who people follow, and would choose to follow if they were given a choice? Sorry, maybe kind of nitpicky, but I feel like you're on the edge of saying something important and accurate, but this isn't quite it.

I don’t mind looking for a better way to express the idea. We don't call people with no choice followers usually. So I think following someone is a choice even when going where they tell you isn't. It can be ambiguous. Some people joined Apple to work for Jobs. And he was famous for his management style. But I don't know how many people saw him as a leader and how many saw him as the boss.
