I should hunt up another article I read recently; in a small study, dogs would imitate motions and behaviours of the owner, even if they were rewarded for NOT doing so. I think the whole leadership/set an example thing is related to that. Also, that's probably how I can get away with letting my old hound dog do the majority of training on my foster dogs... ;)
