For once, I can get behind something Jordan has said about Emma.
I was expecting another question to be asked with this image attached, instead of the one we got...

I think Jordan's answer about Emma leadership is one the best I've read. It certainly matches my impression of Emma.
Jordan: That’s a good question. I think the role she is in right now in Marauders is a great one for her—and it’s much more a leadership role in the sense of CEO or politician than in the superhero team leader sense. And I think that’s because she is a hard person to get along with–people get mad at her, fight with her. She doesn’t have the kind of relationship with everyone around her where they will do what she says instantly, which I think they need in a super-fight. On the other hand, she has AUTHORITY. Where she is now, everyone does not have to like her, they have to respect her position.
So, Magik vs. Cable in a fight for leadership. Who would win?

Who is Storm and who is Cyclops in this situation?
Also Cable? Like Kid Cable?
In regards to the comments about Emma, respect is something earned not given. So regardless of her position or "authority" no one is forced or bound to afford her any respect, she has to earn that by her actions.
Yeah. For example, she could start saving the world, or saving the mutant race from a poisonous cloud, or protect them against a Nazi organization or fund their mutant nations... Oh wait lol
I think she's earned their respect, otherwise Xavier wouldn't have chosen her for her role on Krakoa.
But I get what Jordan said, about the X-Men not really finding her particularly appealing as a person and thus not trusting her a leader like they do trust Storm and Cyclops for example. They're both better communicators than her admittedly and the X-Men have a "family" bonding that will make them more appealing as leaders than "friends" of the family like Emma (even tho she's been with them for long).
