A bit of both, as the situation calls for.

neither -- I am my own person; an individual. I am unique.

In crisis situations I usually step up and try to determine who has what skills. In other situations it really depends on whether or not I give a shit.

I'm a natural leader. I always end up in charge of something. I do belong to one group, however, for which I made a deliberate decision not to be anything but an ordinary member.

Natural leader or just plain bossy... depends on who you talk to.

I can play either part as the occasion demands.

I tend to be a little of both, but if I had to choose one, I'd say I'm more of a leader than a follower.

I can be either depending on the situation. However, I must say that I am a somewhat reluctant leader and my natural state is to be low key.

When I was a kid I was a leader. I have a tendency to follow my husband now. I don't know. I'm whichever suits me at the time.

im usually the person who is in between. you know like that person who tells the leader what to do and makes sure that everyone follows. what is that like an adviser or observer or something. thats me, lurking in the shadows watching, always making sure everything goes just right for everyone.
if there should be a problem the leader or follower would come to me and i take care of it. sounds kind of like a hitman a little bit.
i was sort of like that a point in my life. but i was more like a fight man i guess. or a confronter. how crappy that was. but thats who i was and sort of still am. gotta take care of the fam and friends.yup thats right, hard job but someones got to do it. dont mind me, im a dork

I would consider myself more a leader than a follower.

I'm more of a follower. I can lead if I need to though.

I'm a natural follower. I'm an unnatural leader - I can do it and I'm decent at it, but it's not a role I enjoy. I've been a Girl Scout leader and a Troop Services Director (basically, a leader of leaders in my GS council). I'd much rather do things myself than delegate and supervise.

As it turns out, I am a natural leader. I did not know that about myself until I became president of the Woodstock Rotary Club. I was already editor and general manager of a weekly ewspaper, but I did not feel like a true leader until I took on that civic role. I am also an excellent second in command. My preferred place would be as a leader with the ability to designate - something I have always had trouble doing.

It depends who the "group" is. I'm a bossy cow though, so mostly a leader - there's only so long you can mill about being democratic!

I'm a leader. Even if I don't want to lead. I can't keep my mouth shut and wide up in charge.
