Think about it (Paper test, 1st Exam) you can follow smart leaders but leaders who take away your fear (Naruto) can give you more strenght.

The best leaders usually have both qualities. Charisma and high intelligence.
The Sasuke Retrieval Arc showcased this. They already had orders to follow Shikamaru. That still didn't stop Naruto, Kiba, and Neji from being skeptical of his leadership. Not a good thing when going into a mission.
Shikamaru first impressed everyone with his intelligence when he put together a perfect formation and strategy in only a few moments.
But it was his charismatic speech about Sasuke that inspired everyone and sold the deal that he was someone you'd want to follow into battle. Shikamaru demonstrated both traits you want in a leader.
Kiba:
Now you are starting to look like you deserve that chuunin title.
