When the sheep walk together, there is always a sheep in front, which is relatively fixed and plays a leading role. When grazing, as long as the sheep is controlled, the sheep will not get lost. This sheep is called the leader.

In fact, all social animals have leaders, but human society has always used the word "leader of sheep". Generally speaking, it is a metaphor for a leader who leads everyone to do their work.
