Although her insecurities aren't entirely fleshed out, I lean towards the idea that she believes that without her authority, she has nothing that makes her dependable or unique; she thinks of herself as inadequate compared to her siblings, so her position as the "oldest" is all she thinks she has to fall on. What fosters this mindset is that Lori will often resorting to be demanding and somewhat dogmatic with her responsibilities. That means that anyone else, whose approach is less authoritative, will be someone that the other siblings gravitate more to than Lori. For example, the others jumped at the chance to help Leni get her license so they won't have to put up with Lori anymore.
