Your intuitive powers are starting to tell you that you might want to follow the leader for a while: they seem to know the lay of the land a lot better than you do. Your passivity is an asset right now, so utilize it and do what you are told. Why put yourself in a risky situation when there are other people willing to do it for you? Sit back and let these folks do what they want to do. You will definitely benefit in the end. You don't always have to be in charge to gain something.
