I don't know if you've read Jane McAlevey's "No Shortcuts," but on the off-chance you haven't I would strongly recommend it. She talks in depth about the exact thing you're talking about with identifying social leaders and using them as leverage. She calls them "organic leaders" and talks a little about identifying them and how they can be used most effectively in organizing.
