Where you go I can not follow

Just something that really has been popping up a lot recently. I think in science there are a lot of people who are loaners but wanting to be leaders. But it means there are very few followers. Many people who follow are doing it as a temporary step out of necessity. But then again maybe this is human nature. But it is very interesting when one reaches a point where one starts to pull their head up and look around and start asking some questions and wondering. Especially when others are leaving and trying to get others to follow.
