Are you a leader or a follower? ...Or a little bit of both?

I am more of a leader than a follower, although I do follow the instructions and advice of people in senior leadership positions. I do not have a mentor right now but have in the past. People tend to come to me for guidance.

i am more of a leadder i dont do things as others just because they do whatever. i look at here i am take or leave it. i been through where i was a follower and it got me into trouble back in the days so now i am i will stand up for what i belive, do as i want. not allow other influnce me into bad things

hi thedirtydiva, wow!! that's so wonderful. I can really see that you are a good mentor. I think someone who knows how to listen can be a great leader. I find it so selfless and kind when a person shares what he/she has learned. In my case, I think I'm a little bit of both. When I was still studying as I remembered, I had been a group leader or class leader every school year or if not, I usually got nominated to lead a certain activities in school. It feels good whenever someone sees you differently, in a positive way. That you are somewhat becoming an inspiration for others. I also think that I am a good follower, there are so many individuals that I look up to and get inspired with. happy mylotting!

As for my opinion, I think all of us will be the same..leader or follower? We are somewhere in between. People tend to be a follower when they are in the process of learning, trying to follow what a leader said or what they asked to do, we are learning something from them perhaps one day we will become one of them. When come to implement the knowledge we have, we will become a leader of others. Well, I'm a follower that trying hard to be a good leader..everyone can become a leader but just few of them a really good leader.

I think i am more of a leader. I feels good to have control of things that surround you. Being a leader also gives you the responsibility or sometimes more of a burden regarding issues about your group. I also think that being leader does not require you to possess any characteristics but you need to have the will to be one.

I think im a little bit of both. in my experience, before holding the presidential position of our chorale, i was in a way a good follwer. i follwed whatever our president or conductor says, doing the best that i could in singing with the group. after 2 years, i was elected as president, and now i lead our chorale in all the school activities and to the upcoming university wide chorale competition. i believe that a good leader is a good follower. and one wont be able to lead if he/she doesnt know how to follow.

Neither. I will not lead anybody to try and make them think and act like me, instead I will implore them to find the beliefs that they think make the most sense and that they should do what they think is right and not what I do. I'm not really a follower of anyone because there isn't anybody that I live my life by their opinions or ideas. I believe that we all have to find our own truth because truth has been so distorted over the years that the only truth we know is what we think or have been taught is.

I can be one or the other one at a time. At times, I usually would like to start off as a follower. To see how things run, to see the flow, and once I get the hang of things, I can learn to manage. I don't do hostile take -overs though. :D

I'm a little bit of both. I don't like to be the one making all the decisions but I don't like to be pushed around. For example, take my job. I am a supervisor so I direct the front line employees but my manager, Ben, handles a lot of the bigger responsibilities. I could do it if I wanted to, I'm sure of it, I just don't want to. My self confidence is a bit lacking, I admit it. I'm proud to be a supervisor and I am content to be in that position.

Had been a leader ever since I was still studying. Its because of this trait that made me on a good job at present. You chosen path today will predict the outcome of your future. If you choose to become a good leader today, then there is a better chance that you would succeed in the future. If one chooses to become a follower then he will become a follower for the rest of his life.

I think I am more of a leader, but I do not like to give rigid instructions and commands. I listen and compromise to what each member of the team has to say. There are also times that I really wouldn't want to be in that position because of the frustrations it could cause and the faults you have to own up to, but I get appointed as the leader. So I have to live up to that. I am also a follower in the sense that I have a superior in what I do, and I follow what is agreed upon by everybody.

Hi thedirtydiva. I think to a degree we all are both leaders and followers. Even if one does not do much and just goes with the flow, chances are there is someone following that person. In my case I have to be both. As a husband, dad, and pastor, per the Word of God I need to be the leader. But those same instructions tell me to first of all follow Christ, follow the good examples of others, and follow another person that God would direct me to follow. Without following the entities just mentioned, I cannot be a good leader.

I'm a mixture of both. I prefer to be a follower when there's a lot of work/responsibilities involved as the leader. I don't want any stress or pressure so I follow the footsteps of someone who can manage these things. At times, it can be frustrating when people don't cooperate and just fool around, which is why I take on the position as leader in order to make some order.

I tend to be a leader at work, at least in the landscaping, fencin, and laboring world, because I know what I am doing, and find it easy to help other. However, being how I am a very quiet and shy person, I am usually a follower with friends or family.

we all are little bit of both. we had to respond as per the situation. when i see that no one can lead better than me in this case then i must lead it. but in some cases other leads better than me then i let him lead but i don't allow him 100% to be my master. just little bit and not too much. but i could find that most of the time i am a leader not a follower.

I suppose i am also a bit of both but probably more follower than leader. I am always willing to learn new stuff from other people but also like to help others like you :D

I have always been a leader in most of the cases. It's natural thing, I don't do it myself. The others just think that I should be and that's they I become leader. The others thing that I can manage the team better that them. And also they like me as a leader. But being a leader is something serious and you should be responsible for almost everything - even for somebody's mistakes.

I am more of a leader. I want to do things, I want to initiate projects and do my own thing. When I am in a group I have the tendency to take the lead. I am not much of a follower. I must have born a leader because I want to be there, to head a group. I find it challenging to do that.

I wouldn't say I'm a leader, but I'm definitely not the type of person who'll just follow someone blindly. I'd say... well.. I'm just kind of there. Hehe. I really don't know what you'd call me.
