This makes a good point.

One of the problems with leadership in almost any group -- whether it's a homeowners' association, a dancing club, or an umbrella organization for women religious -- is that the really good people, the ones who are actually doing the bulk of the work, are far too busy to take on a leadership role.

So leadership falls to the obnoxious, the discontented, and the disobedient. They want the job for all the wrong reasons -- to feel important, to throw their weight around, to "change" things to their personal whims.

With that said, though, there comes a point when the hardworking sisters in these orders have to wake up and realize that their "leadership" has strayed far, far away from Catholicism. Sometimes, even if you're busy, you have to get organized and take out the trash. Because otherwise, at some point, you will be held responsible for failing to keep an eye on the leadership.
