Try This:

$this->Leader->find('all');

// Let's remove the hasMany...
$this->Leader->unbindModel(
    array('hasMany' => array('Follower'))
);

// Now using a find function will return
// Leaders, with no Followers
$this->Leader->find('all');

// NOTE: unbindModel only affects the very next
// find function. An additional find call will use
// the configured association information.

// We've already used find('all') after unbindModel(),
// so this will fetch Leaders with associated
// Followers once again...
$this->Leader->find('all');
