Both

Are you a leader or a follower? – That’s an interesting question from the daily writing prompt for first thing in the morning.

I believe I’m both. I don’t have a problem taking the lead in life. I was a lead or boss from time to time in my professional career. But I’m also a good follower when I see experience and knowledge I don’t have yet.

I guess in a way I lead my family or at least share in the leading.

With my friends I go along more instead of lead.

When it comes to directions I lead. I have a very good sense in that aspect.

In sports, I enjoyed coaching which is leading. But it was also fun being a player and following.

Comment –

If you’re a follower, be very careful in your choice of leader to follow.

If you’re a leader, have respect for that position and those that follow you.

Are you a leader or a follower? – The Daily Writing prompt is digging again.

It all depends on the situation and company I’m in. I’d say I’m a little of both overall. It’s good to practice both I feel. It gives a nice balance to life. Plus you get a better perspective of the pros and cons of each.

I’ve been a leader in my professional life as a manager and team member. But also a follower as I learned the ropes from mentors.

I’m married so obviously I’m a follower. But a father also, so a leader.

If I’m on a straight road I’m a follower. If it’s the twisties, I’m a leader.

In friendships, I’d say the average lean towards a follower. But again, depending on the friend and situation.

I’d love to be a leading blogger in the future, but I so enjoy following many other talented people.

If you are a follower, be careful where others may lead you, it may not be the destination you were thinking about.
