The best explanation I've read is the "Big Man Theory." A fundamental instinct may exist in human beings to elevate a member of their own population to a position of social dominance. This instinct has been handed down from thousands of generations of human and even pre-human society. Most social animals live in groups with a pecking order.

To be more specific to the question, we don't NEED leaders to be useful and productive. Anybody who has ever worked in an office when the boss is away can attest that the place works as well, if not better, without his or her presence.

But a threat or disturbance to a social group, and the "Big Man" instinct kicks in. As in the example above, if something goes wrong while the boss is away, who do you go to to fix it? Another boss.
