Isn't it better to be a leader than a follower?
I believe being a leader is better than being a follower.
It can also depend on the person. Some people are not suited for being a leader. However, being a leader lets you choose your own opinions and you're not risking following a corrupt, unintelligent, unethical leader or a leader that lacks common sense. Like I said before, it also may depend on the person. Someone can have great abilities as a leader and others may not.
Posted by: AnonymousIt is better to be a leader than a follower, because sometimes you can't trust your given leader.
When choosing to lead or follow it is a great idea to sit down and scrutinize your leader's way of commanding. If your leader's principles are corrupt, then you would not want to continue to follow them. At this point, it is better to be a leader than a follower.

To be a leader can give you a big challenge. When facing the challenge, you will try your best to handle the affairs as well as possible. In the process, you will constantly enhance yourself to adapt to different and complex long conditions. It also improve your total ability greatly.

It is possible to be a leader and a follower all at the same time. Haven't you heard of leading by example? By leading in the right direction, you encourage others to step up in leadership and as a whole, move others in the right direction.
Posted by: AnonymousBeing leader has benefits
We leaders experience responsibility giving us power and benefit. We can lead our team to be more efficient. WE can have people work for us and we can feel the power. A follower has lower status than a leader. If the follower does not want to be leader who will lead?

It is best to know when to lead and when to follow.
If there is already a capable leader in place, sometimes the most effective and responsible thing to do is to support that leader rather than trying to take over their role. If everybody tried to lead, civilizations would crumble and societies would break apart.
Posted by: AnonymousBeing a leader is a total headache!
A leader always has tension and he has to attend the need concerns of his followers whereas a follower has no tension he always is calm he gives his suggestions and relax whereas a leader has to hear everybody's ideas implement them add subtract something and many more so I would always support a follower.
Posted by: AnonymousLeading isn't a preferable position to following, because not all people are their best in this position, and circumstances dictate who is best for this role.
While some people possess skills that help them to perform in leadership roles more effectively than others, other people are the most productive as followers. Mostly, circumstances that call for anyone taking a role of leadership are more aptly described as ones reflecting a moral or social responsibility scenario than any other situation.

There is no harm in being a follower when you are being led by a good leader. Everything in life should go step by step so if you are a follower first and then a leader you will always benefit more. Plus every leader is a follower of his own values and principles. Thus no one can boast that he/she is a leader but not a follower.
Posted by: AnonymousSometimes it's better to not lead anyone.
Being a leader basically means you want others to become followers and let you guide them down their paths. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be my own leader and let the others decide what is best for them or what fits their life.
Posted by: AnonymousI think both being a leader and being a follower have their unique advantages, since leaders make their own ways, but do so with much greater risk.
I think that sometimes it is better to be a leader and, other times, it is better to be a follower. Leaders make their own way, but, as a result, they are also more responsible, and put themselves at a greater risk than followers, should something go wrong.
Posted by: ToughEfrain26It is not better to be a leader than a follower because being a leader is a great pain.
It's not about being a leader, it's about being who you are. A leader has to take up too much of the responsibility and if something goes wrong it is the leader who is blamed. So isn't it obvious that being a follower is far better than being a bossy leader.
