But do they fit the general definition you're using? Did the majority of people follow them because they wanted, or because they had to? If your answer to this question is that they should be part of your research then why isn't the topic simply 'leadership' as you're now using all kinds of leaders.

I thought the object was to focus on a specific kind of leadership that you presented a definition of. If you're deciding on dumping the integrity aspect of it then I guess the followers don't value that either.
