This is not even sectarian, anarchists are also bad at letting informal hierarchies and de facto leaders slide. "Leadership" is a bourgeois concept and I will die on that hill, because if we can't quit organizing ourselves as mirror images of the capitalist powers, we won't succeed.
The idea of "leader" is like the idea of "generalized intelligence"- it's not a real thing, and only kept in consideration by huge amounts of propaganda.
