Follower vs. Leader

In a sea of people who are thriving to be CEO, inventors, corporate leaders, etc. I can't help to wonder if anyone actually wants to be a follower and not a leader?

I am a decent programmer. Not great, not a rock-star or whatever. But I am a great worker, yes I might be biased but experience has proved that right. What makes me a great worker is my honesty, motivation, will to learn new stuff, improvisation, curiosity, hard working, knowledge about various areas, etc. And that is what always ends up making me a "leader", but I don't want to be a leader. All I want to do is to find a great leader to follow. But I am not able to do that. Where are very few leaders worth following in my country, if any.

Don't get me wrong, I like IT, I like business in general. I see it as a big game for adults, and it is fun to play. But, I also have other interests, that sadly can't bring any money, I don't want to get into details but take my word for it that there is no money. And where ever I work I end up being a "leader", first unofficially, then officially. And the person above me is usually a owner of the company.

And, OK, this might sound weird. But deep down I don't "believe" in him/her. And I cannot be a follower (in the purest meaning of that word) to that person. I cannot submit myself to that kind of person. And then I end up being a leader (unofficially, at least to the extent of the part I lead) and that is the exact opposite of what my career goals are.

Has anyone here have that situation? And how did you resolve it?
