Arrogance is the enemy

I have to explain how this group dynamics class works. The class is split into two groups and we each observe the other group talking and we pull out their dynamics and roles.

A person doesn't become a leader by asserting themselves as one. Everyone must respect them to truly allow them to have that power and take that role. So this guy Steve in my group is the self-proclaimed leader. No one decided that he should lead, we were all just quiet and he stepped up and decided to take over. He is very full of himself and believes that everything he says is so important. Others are sick of him and my teacher says he's being used in the group to question roles, etc. I was jockeying for power with him today, probably giving him more air time than he deserves. I better shut up and let him hang himself. That is the plan. Chi is very likable but at the same time he resists any leadership role, it's like he wants to be involved and important without taking any initiative. He wants to be really controversial, but he resists creating that tension, like he wants someone else to do it for him, so he can benefit but at the same time someone else gets blamed for bringing on the tension. That's annoying too.
