That's why it would take immense character. The person to do it wouldn't be one that wants to but does it out of necessity and duty. IMO the best leaders I've ever had are ones who don't want to lead but do because it's what is needed.

People who are "leaders" because they proclaim themselves to be and want to tend to turn out to be nothing more than predators, much like our "leadership". They are predators at best and parasites at worst.

Just my life experience though, I'm sure others disagree.
