I think that's what the ending was getting at, truthfully- showing how even if he isn't "a leader", he is still a "leader". He can inspire and help people, and take care of the vulnerable. It's no coincidence that his talk about leadership came at the same time as him seeing so much misery in the city, I think. He needed to see that there was still a place for him somewhere- people who he could help. I think he'll be very, very happy at his commune, where he isn't bound by the strictness of Druidic leadership, and is instead free to find his own way.
