To be a good leader, you must have understanding of how the other people in your team live and act. How they get along. I think that is another aspect of maturity also. You have to be understanding. Maturity of the team matters, but it all comes back to maturity of the leader. You need to be able to trust your leader to make mature decisions and know your team well enough so you don't expect impossible things out of them. It's like you're a manager when you're the leader of a team. You have to know your workers. In Brave New World I think that Bernard is a leader in his own kind of way. He hasn't really realized it and he's just rolling with his feelings and not taking soma, but he's very mature and he feels things that others do not feel. Things that make people intrigued by him. When they visit the reservation and see what life was like in our time, he likes the idea of living a life where your emotions aren't processed, and you can feel how ever you want without just taking a soma and forgetting it all. Sometimes people don't understand your actions and I think that's what makes them more powerful. Bernard denying to take the soma is a powerful action. He's choosing something. And I'm not far enough in the book but I feel like it's going to create some sort coup d'état. I mean I'm probably wrong this is just an inference that in the end Bernard is going to create some sort of revolution or something.
