I start to worry whenever anyone uses the word "forceful" in the same sentence as "lead". There is a very fine line indeed between

"unambiguously guiding a beginner to where she needs to be going, and resisting her tendencies to go elsewhere"
and:
-
"yanking"
The former is fine, up to a point - and judging where that point is, requires care and IMHO quite a bit of sensitivity.
The latter is not at all fine.
