Personally, I’m ok as a follower if the leader is good, but I will rise to the occasion as a leader if necessary.

I refuse to lead weak minded authoritarian sheep because they are scared to think for themselves and lack the guts to fight the system.

I refuse to follow leaders because I am a libertarian rogue that refuses to submit to repressive authoritarian structure.

Every man needs to own the ground he stands on.

Just tell me what to do and let me do it

Herd mentality must be appealing to you

If it doesn't hurt me then why should I care

For some, freedom of conviction and choice are an optional thing I suppose.

I prefer to lead, however, if some idiot wants to lead I will let them walk into what ever is in the path ahead.. If They are successful and make it to our destination and/or clear a new better path, I will gladly follow.

I'm a follower for the most part but usually a great leader.

I only ever step up when it takes too long to come up with a plan of action then I realize things need to happen and will just go into telling people what needs to be down.

Other than that, I follow and will only attempt to take leadership when I see it failing.

I can lead, but I end up hating it. As long as it's temporary (like when the Team Lead throws a sickie or takes a holiday), fine. Otherwise, no. It would take a very significant pay rise for me to do that role permanently. If only to cover the therapy bill.

On the otherhand, I don't really feel like a follower. If I'm not providing guidance, direction, or taking initiative to *some* extent, I'm probably gonna get bored and move on.
