This has more to do with who you are as a student. As a student, I was a leader and a teacher among the students. When I became a mentor, I just fell into the role naturally. Sure, it took some work to distance myself from the students. But it was well worth it. However, if I was a goof on the team as a student. It wouldn't have worked so well. It really depends on the person.
Earning respect is only half the job of getting it. If you really want respect, you need to command it.
