"The position of the leader is ultimately an intensely solitary, even intensely lonely one. However many people you may consult, you are the one who has to make the hard decisions. And at such moments, all you really have is yourself."
There are different types of leaders. You could lead by example. You could inspire, but avoid making decisions for the group, letting them make their own decisions. That's still leadership, but it's not a dominating, controlling type.
As Saint Exupery once said, "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea."
