Who Are You? A Leader ? A Follower? Or neutral?

All of the above! Why did I say that because in this life we do have a different roles to portray. I am a leader, when I am at home because it is me to takes the responsibility. I am a follower, when I am at work. I am neutral, when it I am not sure at what situation where am I.

I was raised in 2 authoritarian foster homes and so I never did have the chance to learn any leadership skills, nor did I have a chance to feel good about myself. That's why I'm going to theraphy in the new year. So I consider myself a follower more than anything. I feel comfortable submitting to my husband, though, because he is very reasonable and wants me to make decisions with him, so I'm learning how to make decisions. He even asks me for advise.

It all depends on the situation. I am the leader when I have to be, the follower when I have to be, or the party that refuses to side when I feel that nothing is how I want it. Right now, with the U.S. Government, I am remaining neutral until our elected officials can get their acts together.

they say to be a leader, one has to be a good follower, too. the nonchalance of most people to say what is on their minds make leaders abusive. i believe that we all need to learn to speak our minds, leaders and followers alike.

In your discussion, you asked many questions. I can only answer that I feel fairly neutral in the society. I know it is right and proper to help others who are in difficulty. My slogan, however, has always been "live and let live ! "

Neutral i suppose . I dont fallow anyone and noone fallows me . I have my parents and my friends . If there is something to do we do it together , noone is over the other . Since i dont work for noone - etc i dont have a boss , i mean i work for me and my family . Well thats the way i am i hate ppl teling me what to do , i do what i want to , ofcourse i consider others around me and their opinions but final decision is made by me and for me :) But i never tell others what to do . If i need help i ask , if i want something i ask and if its no its no :)

We were not born leaders but pick the trade of leadership when we have children. We may not become powerful leaders like political leaders of nations but in our own private world we give commands to our children as a dutiful parent. We mould them and lead them by example so they become useful citizens of this world. But on the other side of the coin, we are just layman who follow orders of our government without much complain as followers of their political ideology. Every individual can excel in their leadership and it is not surprising single parents are capable of showing great leadership qualities to their children despite having to raise their children single-handedly.

I am neutral. If the situation asks for a leader of which I am capable of, then I can be a leader, unless there is someone better than me, then I am a follower.

If I have to choose I am a leader. But since I like to be alone and have my freedom a follower would annoy me. Being a leader has nothing to do with controlling someone but by doing what you have to do and not just sit there and wait for someone else to show you the way. There are all kind of followers... enough who love to live that way. No need to worry, everything will be done and solved for you. quit relaxing. Authority is also not always going hand in hand with being a leader. Being a leader, follower or neutral has to do with character not by copying behaviour. A real leader is just doing his thing and people are following him, taking him as an example no matter if he likes it or not. The jerk you describe is just someone who copies behaviour, who will threaten people if necessary so he can be in charge. This has nothing to do with being a leader but trying to be one. What do you mean by: today if the children have single parents do they have a chance to develop their personality? If one singel parent has 5 children they are all different even if they have the same childhood, ate the same food. It's character that makes one to what he/she is. If you are born like a coward you will always be one, no matter if your mother is a strong person. If you are a strong person you will always be one, no matter if your mother is strong or weak. I think you did not really think over what you wrote about. It doesn't make sense at all.

In my case, it depends on the situation. I can lead, I am a good follower and also I can be neutral. What matters most is we know how to handle every situation and have a good rapport among others.

I would say that I am a leader, because people of all backgrounds and all ages come to me for advice and problem solving.
