It is better to be a follower than a leader.

hey people we have debated on topics of leadership but wat do u think is better to be a follower or accept leadership..............
 
It is always advisable to start as a follower and grow to take the leadership cos everyone has to grow in their life.Its is not good to remain in the same place for a long period of time.There are pros and cons in both the worlds and everyone has to experiment it.One has to take decisions and abide by the decisions.All this will come thru experience. Only experience makes a person wise in his life.

I disagree, one should always try to be leader. there is first mover advantage which is with the leader. Being proactive will safegaurd your leadership in your segment
 
well, if everyone will try to be a leader, then who the follower will be???

everyone cannot be a leader, one needs to have some qualities and experiences to be a leader, those come only when you experience working under a leader....
 
Totally agree with pahuja........ if everyone is a leader, who will he lead....... :-)
as much as a leader is required, he also needs a follower
 
Days r of Customisation dude. So, depending on our expertise, knowledge, experience and several factors we need to adapt.

If need be to take initiative then so be it, play to the gallery as is said in sports.

Just coz its easy to follow and always have the leader blamed for any fallout doesnt make any good.

If every1 like to lead, who will follow. And if every1 follows, who wil lead. Complete chaos..
 
Leader presumes follower. Follower presumes choice
The terms leader and follower imply the freedom and independent judgment of both. If the behavior of either is compelled, whether by force, economic necessity, or contractual arrangement, the relationship is altered to one of superior/subordinate, management/employee, master/servant, or owner/slave. All such relationships are materially different than leader-follower.
 
ya i truly agree with u...dere r sum situatns when we need to be lead like the field in wich we excel but in rest we shud follow...
 
i agree wid most of yr viewz..!!! but lemme jus xprz.. ma totz..!! yu shdnt b leadin a group thinkin dt it wod dfntly help yu in growin up in yr level..!!! i dftly dis agree wid diz point. wad i feel is one shd lead a grp when he or she has da complete hold over da project or work handled 2 dem..just leadin a group wid out knwin aythn about it will make yu falter..!! wad i strongly feeel is one shd b a good follower 2 become a succesfull leader..!!

yu need da STIRCASE 2 reach da otr FLOOR!!
 
i feel a good follower .....i mean if a person is alert enough to understand what takes to be a successful leader goes out to become a good leader himself at some point of his life....
 
agree with deepak. thing is most of the poeple, in reality, are followers. For every given leader, there are 100 followers. If you are leader, you can dictate your own terms. You hold the power to change.
 
Everyone has unique capabilities, however untill n unless you follow a leader you will never learn how to manage. As rightly said management (man management) can never be taught, it comes with experience.
 
Of course being a leader is better than working under someone. You will be an independent decision maker. You need not have to work under somebody's instruction and it will save you from running after jobs.
 
To me one has to be a leader even if one is not in a leading position. Leading is by thought and not by designation. One will always start with following a leader but then the transition phase of follower to leader has to be achieved in a minimal time frame. Every individual if given a choice will go for a position of leader so no point in arguing that if everyone will be a leader then who will follow...Everyone tries to be a leader but then only only few of them get to be the leader just because someone or the other will have an edge over the others over some parameters. However stiill being leader by thought will ensure that one day everybody who aspires to be the leader will get to that position for certain period of time(this depends on consistent performance and innovation). So Leading is the way to go!!!!!
 
Any individual becomes a leader as well as a follower at different situations in life and it may also depend on his characteristics.
Leaders have a passion and enthusiasm to achieve, move forward and inspire those around. Followers are comfortable to abide by the rules and regulations. Both has responsibilities to fulfill. :)
