We're a team of twelve and our manager left six months ago and instead of hiring someone new they just told us to 'self-organize' but really what happened is that two people have taken over everything and the rest of us just do whatever they say and call it consensus and I think we're all pretending this is working better than it is.
More people experience this than they realize.
Your "leaderless" team is really run by two people, and everyone pretends that's working.
