As a starting point, go with whatever moves first. This is usually the head if someone is punching at it. But, as I say in the clip, let everything else then follow. Leaning is ok above, especially in boxing, but it leaves the legs vulnerable, for kicks or for take downs (the Gracies showed that, right?)
So yes, move the head, but then move the feet! As skill develops and fear lessens, there is less overt head movement.
We train drills where movement is initiated from the head, the hand, the foot, this helps people with the concept of not only getting out of the way but of moving into a useful position
