Leader or Follower

Are you a leader or a follower?

I can’t say I’m great at following. I tend to dance to a different drum and sometimes I’m like a pied piper.

In business, I owned my own for the last 10 years of my working career and intermittently during my entire work career. I like to be in control. I know how I want things done.

But as a leader, you also need to be flexible. Adapt. Listen. Learn. Without those capabilities you can fall short as a leader.

A good follower listens, learns, and cooperates. They are less of a challenger. They want less of the broad responsibilities. But in every aspect, they are as important as the leader.

Without leaders there are no followers and without followers there are no leaders.

So whatever you are you are important!
