Are you a leader or a follower?
« on: February 06, 2011, 10:17:44 am »
I tend to be more comfortable being a leader.  For some reason, when I am in a group, I tend to be picked to be the spokesperson.  I am okay doing that.  In a couple of instances, I was picked even though I had not said anything.  In work situations, I would tend to lead my group.

However, in fashion or technical situations, I am definitely a follower.  To me, fashion is comfort.  Technical, I yell for help.

Depends on the situation but more often than not I'd say I'm more of a follower.  I a private person and I don't usually like to be in the spotlight.

Depends on the situation for me too. I'm usually a follower. I'm ok with being behind the scenes. I'm more comfortable that way.

I guess you can say I'm a reluctant leader.  I'm more comfortable as a follower, but often end up being pushed into the leader position.  I have no problems leading, it's just I'm naturally shy, so putting on a strong personality front one expects in a leader is more of a challenge.  I definitely know how to motivate people - individually and groups - and am highly organized - and a visionary - which all helps getting projects moving.  If I have my way, I'd be more comfortable as adviser to the leader (be the person "behind the curtain").

I'm definitely a leader. The leadership qualities were evident in my life even when I was in elementary school. I noticed my class mates often followed me, or waited to hear what I had to say before voicing their own opinions.

 this is a good question! I would like to think that I am a leader, but in the end I am probably just a follower  :dontknow:

I am a private person.  However, I am comfortable being both a leader and a follower.

 :icon_rr: I am a leader, however, I believe that every true leader has been a true follower.  My perspective, since I am a man, is that we need more real leaders especially more men.  More men to take the leadership role in the home, church, community, and in our society.  The women are moving ahead of us due to a lack of real men willing to step up to the plate.  It is imperative that I continue to move forward in some leadership capacity to encourage others to do the same.

i am a leader.  i always have been.  i'm most happy & content when i am in control & not having to answer to anyone else.  i know that's hard to admit for some people, but it's quite often the truth.
