On Leadership Part 1

I recently read '14' by Peter Clines, and a paragraph in the book has been food for thought about leadership.

Sometimes, everyone just knows who the leader is. There does not need to be a formal discussion, a vote, or a selection. There is just automatic, unanimous consensus.

Such a scenario probably unfolds more often in a crisis, but sometimes also in perfectly peaceful times.

What is it about these people that others just hand them the sceptre. Or is it more a function of the followers than the leaders? Because this sure as hell did not happen at B School.
