14. I do not think a real answer is not to "take the lead".

Taking the lead or not, the important thing is to actually care about what the other person wants and try to help make that happen, or not if that is not going to happen.

Being taught to "take the lead", if that meant trying to make someone happy if that is what that person appreciates, is a good thing. Then it is, at worst, assertiveness.

The problem is a moral one, not an action one.
