QOTD: follow the leader

question of the day: are you a leader or a follower? why do you say that?

well I thought I was a leader, but after this weekend and my new found addiction to street bikes.....I'm a follower

leader. because I started this blog. Boo yah!

i am most definitely a leader - i always take my own path with pretty much everything i do.

I'm a soquid - not a solid, not a liquid. Do you have a fpoon?

I guess that I'm a follower. I'll go along with anything it suits me. If something changes, I reserve the right to cease following.

I do both. I think that to lead well, you have to be unafraid to follow when the situation calls for it. By following, you can learn, and gain the knowledge you'd need to be a better leader.

a leader for the most part, most people look to me for guidance...

i'd like to think of myself as a leader. i am the first born. i'm not afraid to tell people when they suck. i want a crap load out of life...and i know i'll make it happen.

It depends on the situation. I do like to be in control of most situations but I can also be indecisive when it comes to making decisions that involve others. Sometimes it's nice to lead and sometimes it's nice to follow. Like picking a place to eat for lunch... sometimes it's just easier to let someone else make the decision but sometimes I've got a craving and you either stick with me or find yourself something else to eat.

I'd say I'm a leader. Probably because I'm so ridiculously smart, and I really like to get my own way. Besides, I've always wanted to be in charge of stuff, even when I was younger. I was president of several clubs and silly organizations, the whole thing. Even now, I like doing my thing my way, and being in charge of my own projects. I am NOT GOOD at taking orders, direction or criticism.

I'm definitely a leader. Recently, I made a large purchase, which has prompted several of my friends to make similar purchases. When it appears that I am not leading, I am usually influencing the decisions of the person that everyone else is following, so in essence, I am still leading from behind the scenes.

I’d say I’m more of a leader from all of my years of playing sports. I also don’t give a rats a$$ about what people think of me and tend to do as I please.

Depends on the situation!

mostly i follow, i'm not too keen on being center of attention

i guess i would say im a leader, although sometimes i follow because i dont feel like arguing. i think im always right, and i usually am, but people never believe me, so sometimes its more satisfying to watch someone be wrong.

Leader, I always offer innovative solutions to problems and will argue my point when others want me to follow their way of thinking. Plus I was in sales a few years back, I had the same approach to innovative solutions with generating leads. I developed a system that put me in front of 8-10 customers everyday. This system allowed me to make at least 3 presentations of new products resulting in 1 sale a day on average. I discovered that by using the law of averages I was able to build an extensive customer base. More importantly my customers would expect the best customer service in the industry from me in which I used as a tool to expand my lead generation system by asking for referrals. Accomplishments #1 sales rep in Northeast Area, #3 sales rep in the country. I later decided on a career into sales management where I taught me system to other sales reps who worked for me, the result was taking a branch office that was worst in the Country ranking to #1. So yes I'm a proven leader!

I am definately an Alpha Male, but definately do my share of following, pending my surroundings. It's tough being a leader all the time, and it's good to let others lead for variety.
At work, I am the inovator and the go to get it done guy. At play, I share the role of leader.. Makes life easier and more exciting.. Who wants to be a SuperStar 24/7?
