Daryl was taking charge of the group he was making. Taking responsibility for them. It wasn't big, but it didn't have to be. Just as long as he could rely on them to watch his ass and keep him alive. Then they could rely on him to do the same. The group came first. And until they were big enough to need to delegate, really delegate, he was going to take a page from Rick's book.

The 'yet' he left in because he did believe the council method worked better in a larger community. But as small as they were, with so much unknown, there needed to be a clear line of command. People needed rules. Something to give them a sense of structure when survival was so uncertain.
