Are you a leader or a follower?

[Pucksterv 4,508]

I'm neither, I don't follow and I don't lead. I prefer to walk alone.

[Lexamena 391]

I am a follower. I absolutely hate responsibility. Not saying I am not responsible because I am one of the most responsible people I know. But I don't want people putting responsibility on me.

I thrive in an environment where I know the rules and am given freedom to operate freely within the rules. It makes me irritated with people who are rule breakers. And I don't mean people who are groundbreakers, I just mean people who break rules to break them when it serves no purpose but to benefit them in some way.

I'm my own leader and follower. Ever since I found out the guy like in school likes someone else I stopped wanting to hang out and do projects with people...

[4april 374]

I step in as a leader whenever necessary. For example, if no one else is willing to lead or if the team is not doing as well as it should, I will lead. I am also a person who will challenge inertia in a team.

 

Most of the time however, I am a follower. I guess I am a mixture of both.

[Blaze Bronson 343]

Being able to lead or to follow are both good skills, and you can be good at either, both or indeed neither. I've done a bit of both, with varying degrees of success, but my natural inclination is definitely to follow.

 

Just what I were about to say.

 

I'm more comfortable in a following role with a strong leader, but more often than not I get annoyed with the indecision of the group and rise to the challenge.

Standing around isn't my thing

[SparklingSquirrels 21,341]

I'd say I'm more of a follower. I'm pretty shy sometimes and I lack confidence . Still, if I don't agree with the leader then I'll speak up.

[Adri 52]

I don't feel comfortable being in either. Being told what to do like a mindless sheep isn't my thing nor are leading people to do said thing, so I just choose to go solo. I suppose I'd technically align with being a follower, however, since I can follow orders if they seem logically sound and if I'm allowed to question them. 

[Fluttershy27 54]

I think I'm mostly a follower.

[n0body555 334]

More of a leader than anything. I really never seen myself, as a follower. That would just not be me.

[One-Punch Man 316]

As much as I want to lead others...I don't have the confidence to do so....I sometimes even let people walk all over me without even thinking about it. :/

[SkullcandyPegasus 603]

I'm the outsider; I'd rather do everything myself without help. I hate letting people touch my projects because very few people live up to the standards I expect.

[InfectedPone 1,550]

If it's something that I'm interested in or something I'm good at then I turn into a massive control freak. If not, I tend to closely follow without properly leading.

[10InTheTardis 509]

It's not really that I prefer being a follower, I'm just a bad leader, and I really don't mind following. I'm the kind of person who needs to know how at least one other person does something before I try, because I'm too afraid of doing the wrong thing.

[CT-1138 3,182]

I'm a very caring but "by the book" leader, and I expect the ones I lead to be the same. Unfortunately, I can be a bit unsympathetic to people who think they're above the rules, so I sometimes don't always lead the best way. I'm more of a "lead by example" leader, and I get upset when my followers stray away from the example that I set.

[LittleMac 3,085]

While I tend to do better on my own, I'd say I'm more of a follower. I can't deal with the pressure of having to make important decisions and lead a group of people who depend on me. So, I remain a follower and just try to help in whatever way I can

[Lord Bradley 1,319]

I'm not much of a leader, in terms of socializing or speeches. But, i'm a pretty decent "strategist". Also, i usually dont like to follow orders. So... I guess i'll be the local strategist, tactician and advisor that tags along for fun.

[Kagami-sama 320]

I'm a born leader! And if I lead us to failure, don't come crying to me. 'cause you're the fool who followed me.

[ManyANewDay_36 178]

I'm usually a follower, unless it's something I really care about and stand for, like being a brony. I don't care what everyone else thinks about me, it's something I like and I'm sticking with it.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

I think I'm leader mostly, but it depends.  

[Worst Wizard 6]

Depending on your definition of leader, it becomes rather difficult for such an individual to actually accomplish much compared to the followers personally. One who bears both an acceptable level of skill in the field and the charismatic power to enforce a decision would fit the leader role perfectly, I would instead prefer to apply my expertise in full to the subject at hand. For these reasons, I would prefer to follow, though a community in which the leader is simply enforcing his or her own decisions (rather than the better suggestions of the group) is likely going to fall short anyway .

[Kenshiro 13,493]

Some people were born to be leader but fate choose the leaders naturally

[Invincible 2,091]

Neither. I'm not a team player, and despise taking the helm. I utterly distrust myself in handling the fate of others.

 

Even so, I'm the only one who can take responsibility for my own future. I "follow" only when the leader's goals and mine are aligned.

[Jinxie Umbra 149]

I'm a bit of both. I'm willing to follow bad plans for the sake of team cohesion; a bad plan executed well is better than a good plan executed poorly. But I prefer to have a say in what's going on, so I often end up in an advisory role. Sometimes this means the leadership burden falls on me when others are unavailable, though. And I don't perform well under that kind of pressure.

[Plume 922]

I prefer following, but generally dig group leadership situations - I don't like having all the responsibility, but if someone's going to lead us to disaster I want to be able to stop them.

[Redacted321 105]

I'm a follow mostly i dislike taking the leadership role but when i follow i analysis the entire group and the leader and try to support the whole though if the group is falling apart and i know better then the leader i have a "For F**ks sake this is what we need to do this is how we need to do it if you have questions ask me, you, you and you you're good at AB and C do this, rest of you follow me"

 

I only take that attitude as a leader because I've followed people who have been really slack in group projects and we get like 1 thing done before the dead line looms and i have to do most of the work anyway.  :okiedokielokie:
