One way to use your influence without being too obvious is to be an active listener, and take note of the ideas and feedback of other group members, before making your own input. Additionally, presenting yourself as an objective decision-maker and offering various options before making a decision can help you make decisions that serve your interests without making it seem like you're dictating their terms.

It can be hard to make decisions that serve your own interests as the leader of a group without being too obvious. One way to approach this is to gauge the opinions of your team and take note of what people bring up during conversations or meetings. This can help give you an understanding on how strong certain opinions are and enable you to adjust decision making in line with what has already been discussed. Additionally, present options that will work for the majority but steer away from any potential controversies by finding win-win solutions whenever possible. This will ensure buy-in from others while still allowing you room to prioritize your own interests when making decisions.
