You can tell who can/can't identify with this personality by the responses lol. Judicious was a good word for it.
What you described in OP fit me to a T. I have very definitive leadership qualities about my character but I don't always practice them. When I see poor leadership, whether it's a lack of order or incompetence, I find my self compelled to step up like it's my duty to. In my mind, if no one else does then that means I'm supposed to. My problem is I lack the social skills to comfortably maintain a position of leadership; I'm very reflective with my thoughts and inward with the way I carry myself in general. That can be a bit conflicting when in a position of leadership to the point where when I do exert myself for others it becomes very draining. At some point I'm going to want to take refuge from that position and just do me.
On the other hand, I have no problem sticking to the script and following someone else lead. As long as we are on the same page. If not I may have a poor attitude and push myself away. I believe in order. I respect a chain of command (until it doesn't respect me back). I'm probably what you might call "a good soldier". Like tsu surf said, "got no problem scoring for my mans or playing scottie pippen if my mans gon jordan em".
I have a workplace analogy to help push the point. Say worker A is an alpha personality, worker B beta personality, and I'm the "omega" coworker in between interacting with them. Worker B is very intelligent, very sincere and for sure a team player. He is however very shy, timid and insecure to the point where he comes across awkwardly. He's the living embodiment of disarray. Me being me, I find myself trying to uplift him as a person when possible, feeding him positive vibes and establishing a comfort zone so he can relax. Worker B and I work great together.
Worker A is very assertive, insisting and comes across like he has his own personal motives at times. He's new in the field, worker in training, & I happen to be one of the people he comes to learn from. Homie is a go getter. So much so that when he helps me he has a tendency to dive all the way in, inadvertently (or not) kinda pushing me out and being in the way. Me being me, I see that and immediately push back (figuratively ofc) and make him fall back a bit. I understand he's trying to learn and I'm all for allowing him the opportunity, so I don't push him away totally. But I'll be damned if I let him get too comfortable getting in my way. Worker A and I have a level of respect and also work well together.
Think of a venn diagram. You know.. the circle that intersects with another circle, both of which have polar opposite points to them but that overlapping mini-circle in the middle that joins them with similarities rather than contrasts... Yeah.. the "omega" personality would be that area.

but what would Mike be?
opportunistic.....
when his father was in charge, he saw no need to get involved.....everything was good
when sonny was in charge....he saw an opportunity to help stepped up and took it...
when sonny died, it was left on him to step up again......
once shit was good again, he kept trying to take the oppertunity to get out......but they kept pulling him back in
but Mike only stepped when required
Mike was a civilian, if he never stepped up no one even his brothers would have held it against him.... he was never required
He stepped up because he felt the need to.... dude saw the opportunity and took it

NOT because he seen the opportunity to do so

the person wont be dominated or walked over.but knows when to be humble and ask questions.
They dont want to lead but also dont want to follow. but will do what the situation asks for.
a person who subconsciously steps up to the plate when need be,but is not always trying to dominate.
and knows when to step back and allow someone smarter or more experienced to step forward, but is not being submissive. they look at it like they are gathering information.
