Here, we can see the difference in this discussion.  A more skilled follower would suggest an over-rotation and allow you to lead her against the LOD or to a back sacada or something completely different.  If she's really good, she might even make you think that it was your idea in the first place.  But at any point, she should be able to stop and allow you to do something else or continue with your original plan.  Otherwise, she's backleading.
