He can work with others and has in the past it just isnt often. It's been with Renji and Zaraki before. Usually its got more to do with whose gonna compliment him. Lets be honest most people would just get in the way, Byakuya is a offensive powerhouse/wreaking ball. Either your part of the solution or part of the problem with how he fights. I think most characters have a certain way of fighting and team work isnt common in bleach in general, so you cant put that on him as if its a common thing. I created the the fight articles its a rare occurrence for even 2 people to function in concert with each other, usually its one or the other within the same battle as opposed to together.

As far as not stepping up to be a leader that can be said of mostly everyone except maybe Yamamoto and unohana. We are given the concept of a standing military of captains with a multitude of subordinates and its almost unheard of to see any of them actually commanding their subordinates outside yamamoto and unohana. What your talking about is charisma but the kind that zaraki commands is one of a base interest, battle. Ikkaku has his reasons tied to that. You can make the same claim of any captain not being a leader or having pull because we have seen little outside of the a lieutenant or 3rd seat that showcases their loyalty or reasons for being in the division or with their captain. So thats not a byakuya problem thats a gotei 13 problem.
