It sounds like things are better. I've got a pretty strong personality and my characters do as well. This fact contributes to the fact that I usually end up as the group's leader (regardless of what class I'm playing). What I try to do (but I'm sure I fail as much as I succeed) is to delegate tasks as much as possible. I look at each other group member, consider our current obstacles/plans, and then delegate responsibilities to each. This really helps get even the quiet players involved.
