For me I consider myself a follower in matters I don't know much about, I do as others who are more knowledgeable in that aspect do. But I take up the role of one who leads in apsects I know more than others. Even though I would like to describe myself as an ultra non-conformist. I rarely do as others do. Challenging established norms and cultures is second nature to me.
It is also interesting to consider where we think we know more, and where we Actually know more than others :D
