When the input frequency is above the filter's pole frequency, phase leads.
When it is below the pole frequency, phase lags.
To obtain a particular phase shift will involve drawing parallelogram shapes, with resistance being one axis, and reactance being the other axis.

The phase shifts can be accentuated by using higher order filters.
As shown in graphs in the article below.
