I am in a Leading role at my work but must say some time like to follow the crowd.
To be leader you have to lead and not follow the crowd. Appreciate others for their virtues and try to emulate them but not their vices. Learn the good habits , try to be helpful to others, try to take assignments delegated to you as an opportunity to show your skills and not as extra work. Do not have crowd mentality. Do not do something because others are doing it. Think about it yourself . Also one should have certain qualities that shows himself/herself above the crowd. The best example would be having a spirit that beats physical disabilities. A person who can run with an artificial leg stands out of the crowd because of his undaunted spirit.
So it is proved that all wanted to be a leader and don't wanted to follow the crowd.
Basically speaking in the initial stage of life everybody follows somebody in life (parents, family, teachers, Boss, Mentor, etc). If you are a good observer, fast learner, good patience/temperament, high goals in life, anybody can become a good leader with great visionery powers. He could lead the world and bring the required changes.
I have many mentors in my long professional career; now I do lead teams at work, at the same time I do follow and learn from the high influencer.
Lead because i like challenges in life
Lead and make the crowd follow you!
I guess that depends ,think smart because here ... yes everyone wants to be leader and not follower but being a wrong leader will make many followers wrong. so, if you are following right still you are better.
You should be good leader so that all can learn something good from you or else its same if you lead or if you follow.
another one would be shining in the crowd and making yourself stand out in crowd that also is a great thing as success in recognized in crowd also ( a organization has1000 employees thats a crowd which is following what is said by the higher ups , still some people stand out in that crowd that is sign of a true leader)
i would lead and think of going forward
A leader believes in leading by way of his wisdom and virtue.A leader is also a part of crowd at some point of time.A leader should hear what the crowd says and try emulate himself accordingly what he finds appealing as a true leader.A leader has to show the way and to do so he has to go the way.
well im a great im management and i will defenately take all the risk and would lead the team .
It depends upon the situation. I strongly beleive following the crowd is also not a bad strategy when your are in intial phase of your career. You have to know the how the system works and then learn from it . A leader is someone who knows how to handle complex situations and take good decesions. So to be a good leader one has to be a good learner.
