Social Are you a better as a leader or a follower?

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

I don't blend in, fit in worth a damn, and I don't walk behind anyone. If they expect me to big mistake,

I only have maybe 90 years I won't be spending that following anyone. They can follow me and if they aren't cool with that fuck um.

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Basically this. Leading/managing people is a pain in the ass. I set a high standards for myself and I will not compromise my standards to accommodate less talented people.

 

[PG29 red0 Jr]

It's not that I really want to lead people, but ever since I was like 10 years old I have always lead people.

I was leading my peers when I was probably 12 years old, and began leading adults when I was probably 15 years old. It just always ends the same.

Even if I join a club or organization, and don't want anything to do with leadership........bam.

Leader, as a data analyst I became super detail-oriented.
I've also managed small teams, its easy if you treat people well.

I tend to be a control freak and take the lead on things going on around me and prefer to feel like I have agency/my say on whatever is going on.

But I also have good instincts and not much of an ego or a gloryhog and I don't give 2 fucks if someone else gets credit or wants to take credit , I just want whatever it is to get done , get done correctly and everyone to be alright.

Think like strong dad/husband energy.

 

[Osculater]

I'd lead them to death

Have a feeling the pole results are more accurate if flipped

 

[whocares]

I've always been a natural leader but most people can't get out of the way of their cumbersome egos and settle into the subordinate roles they naturally slot into, and I won't deal with that childishness so my leadership skills go mostly unused, which is fine. I tend to get things done solo because I'm organized, goal driven and work at a fast pace. I also work very well in subordinate roles under strong, competent leadership. I prefer this role the most because it comes with the least amount of headaches, however strong leadership tends to be few and far between now. People just generally have unrealistic opinions of their own capabilities, I find a lot of people simply feel entitled to have a say in things regardless of their competency. In my experience, something like 30-35% of people have a good head on their shoulders and 65-70% don't.

Modern times, leaders tend to lack leadership qualities and more seek those roles simply to attain power, not because it suits them. While many of the natural followers fancy themselves as leaders (so long as they don't actually have to be one) even though they can barely handle whats on their plate. These phones got a lot of people thinking they're something they're not, their confidence is reinforced by artificial, farcical means and they won't be convinced otherwise. At the end of the day I really don't care, people can either get their shit done or they can't. And if they can do it with minimal whining then I can work with them just fine.

Make more money as a leader but have more fun as a follower

 

[fendertach]

I've been a foreman in construction on and off since I was 25. I can be a good leader, but I don't enjoy the added stress it brings on. Currently negotiated myself into foreman wages but no foreman duties so I think I'm winning.

 

[Contempt]

Neither... I'm the SME, sitting to the side, trying to advise people the best way to achieve their requirements... and why their current plans are stupid, will waste millions of dollars and won't work

 

[TeTe]

Neither, I just like to do my own thing and be fucking amazing at it

 

[Thepaintbucket]

I'd lead them to death

Lead me to my death melord

 

[Plissken]

 

[Jack Reacheround]

I’m at my best as the wildcard.

 

[Other]

"I want people to follow how much they lead me" Michael Scott, maybe

 

[Fedorgasm]

I'm a leader as my job, so when I'm not at work I like to be a follower just to give me a break.
