You were actually a strong leader. The thing was, with the people you inducted (and uninducted), you didn't have to carry the cabal (even though you often did anyway). Even when you weren't on, over 3/4 of the Sylvans were competant and at hero-range.

And you weren't afraid to uninduct people, which is a huge plus.

I'd say you were a good leader. You let Sylvans choose their own actions, yet you still demanded common sense from them (at least views in line with the grove).

Good luck with the next.
