RE: 10 Ugly Truths About Being A Leader And Why I Quit Being One

in #life8 years ago

Nice post even if everybody is often a mix of leader and follower.
You don't need to be leader in all aspects of your life. It would be exhausting.
And sometimes, you can be more efficient being a follower and supporting the leader.
Remember there are 3 kind of leadership : one leader, all leaders and no leader.

You said exactly what I'm trying to say, only much more concisely! Yeah, what he said ^^^

Basically, there are certain things we take for granted in our complex society that simply wouldn't happen if there were no leaders. And sometimes, it's better to follow than to lead--it allows you to participate in something you may enjoy but know nothing about how to really pull it off, so you take directions from the people who do know. And maybe those same people might be following you in another matter where you are the relative expert.

Why not be an indepedent thinker? An individualist?

Haven't you ever considered that the current society is still propegating old ideas of authority such as that of the state, religion or even leadership? Have you ever wondered why there are not more enterpreneurs but instead wage slaves?

Why does it have to be leader/follower and not just people cooperating as free individuals?
