Leader or Follower
 

Do you tend to be a leader or follower? Is it ok to be a follower?

Leader, without a doubt , leader.

I think it's cool to be a follower if that's all you really can be. i've known people to follow because it's the easiest thing to do, even though they really had the heart, desire and ability to lead others. Not everybody is cut out to lead. Some aren't organized enough, others aren't asshole enough. But, especially within greek life, you notice that some people don't try to be a leader because of the politics involved with elections and whatnot. That just sucks because a lot of the time, the people who end up getting positions aren't the best qualified, they were the ones who ran. Especially with a fraternity, you need people who will show the younger guys the ropes and teach them how to become leaders, that's what replenishes the strength of the group. As for me though, i wasn't confident enough to lead as a freshman, but once I realized that people would follow and that I was as capable if not more capable than 99.9% of others around me, I had the "why not me?" attitude, and its stuck ever since.

I always believed that in order to be a good leader, one must be flexible enough to be a "follower", not a dummy following blindly but someone who listens to and follows what those they are leading say.
I am a leader though, in all aspects of my life ;)

I think I have a little bit of both. I lead when appropriate and follow when appropriate. There is nothing wrong with following someone who you feel is handling their business.

I am..
 

..a little of both..there are times when I lead, and times when I follow..It is iimportant to be able to do both because there are times when I am not always an authority in or on a particular situation. So being able to do well in both roles works well for me

Team Player with Leadership skills.
 

Typically, I end up in leadership positions when I have time. However, I am just as comfortable on the team. I agree if one wants to be a good leader one should be able to work on the team.
