This is something that I am trying to consciously change in my life. I realized it when i started taking salsa dancing lessons about ten years ago - I am a very very bad follower.
I looked at my life and realized I tend to lead more often than follow BUT that when I allow myself or reshift myself to be the follower that that’s a position I enjoy much more (albeit being worse at it).
Don’t think just dance. It cuts across all the life’s offerings. Relationships be it romantic or friendly or family. Work of course. But also hobbies and random encounters.
Are you more comfortable as a leader or as a follower?
And have you ever tried intentionally switch?
And how did that go?
(No answer is wrong)

Happier not being in a leadership position, but have to take the lead when surrounded by an indecisive group.

If I have a Sherlock, I'm happy to play the Watson. If however there is someone like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket in charge, I'd rather be the boss myself.

Slightly lean towards leader. but it depends one the group dynamic. Sometimes its actually better to lay low.

true. did you ever see them live? No, I've never seen Killing Joke. Have you? I was friends with Jaz for like 5 years. during that time i got to see him/hang out with him almost weekly and yes got to see him perform. He is extremelly talented and very very charismatic and kind to people. he gave me his hat once (which my ex got in the custody battle  ) and one of his platinum albums plaque, just because thats the kind of person he was. He is a very fun person to be around. He does like his weed though  . |

I made E5 during the Vietnam conflict in 14 months. I am a past commander of a veterans group. I was a manager of a fortune 10 corporation during my working life. It all just came naturally.  |

I’m more of a follower but I do want to be in the lead sometimes.

It all just came naturally. wait by Vietnam conflict do you meant he actual Vietnam war? We have Vietnam bet amongst us? If that’s the case, I thank you for your service (I mean it, it’s an incredible sacrifice) and am honored to e-meet you. Would love to know more about your experience. Now off to Google what E5 is  |
