Leader Or Follower?

I am a leader by example, not rhetorically. I have to tell the truth, which means I can't tell people lies because I need them to follow me into something that they would otherwise not support (like WMD's in Iraq)

I have always been tagged a leader. This is not by choice but by circumstances. I am very stubborn and must have a reason for all the things I do. If there is not logical reson or if the outcome is worse than I want it to be I will not budge, therefore I can not be a follower. I don't think I know more than others, but I would much rather take responsibility for my own actions than take responsibility for others. I was told as a vey young child that I was a natural born leader and so far that has been the case. I am a leo with a strong mind and a strong sense of right from wrong. I have followed others but only when I knew the outcome would be to my benefit.

I am the leader type, I can't stand to be bossed around by other people. I think (without trying to sound conseeded) it's because most of the people that I have worked for in my life time knew less than me and had no desire to learn anything else. The problem with most leaders is once they obtain that leadership position they think they're done and don't need to do anything further. The jobs I've done in my life have always been in changing fields or markets which means if you do keep up to the latest thing going on you will get lost really quick and that's what has happened to most of the bosses I've had in both the computer and real estate industries.

I would love to be leader as well as follower too. Depends if I'm good in the field I would love to be a leader and if I'm poor then I will try to follow a leader and learn till the time I am expert in the field. I also feel great if I'm a leader but won't feel shy if I'm not used of the field.

I am a leader. I never meant it to be that way it just is. Since I have been with my hubby he has changed my way of thinking. I used to just blindly follow others even if I didn't really agree with them. Then he taught me that I should lead and show people how to do things the right way. He ran for government one year and I realized that our polotitians were just like you and me. Since then I don't mind being a leader. I am a shop steward in the union too, so people naturally look to me at work to be a leader. I lead by example, as that is the only way! I will never again be a silent follower just accepting things are and not trying to change them.

leader totally. i might follow someone whose a better leader than me. but i wont follow someone even during a game if the leader isnt better than me atleast.
