Explain why? Or are you just basing your view on one excellent performance as a player.
Incidentally leadership doesn't just equal leading by example, there's a lot more to it.
actually leadership and management depends on the individual needs, characteristics and style of the leader, and the leadee.
a leader can just lead by example if that is their style.
and a leadee may benefit from being bawled out, if that is what they require to learn and improve.
