▶ Your Answer : There is an ongoing debate whether to be a leader is better than to be a follower. Some people emphasizes the importance of being followers by arguing that a community and a leader of the community would not exist without followers. However I strongly believe that leading a group is more beneficial to a person that being led by a leader. In doing so, one can build valuable abilities as well as new talents.
First of all, a leader is able to obtain numerous and precious abilities that can be beneficial to them in the future. This is because when leading a group, a leader can have not only responsibilities but also abilities to opperate a group and reconcile different opiniosns. These abilities would allow them to have an important position whatever jobs they would hold. According to a recent article, many companies tend to hire those who have leadership. The main reasone is that the CEOs of firms have seen that those who had an experience of being a leader have a strong sense of responsibility, know how to straighten out conflicts between their team members and lead their team in a right direction for the team's success. Hence, the companies choose them since they would contribute to the prosperity of themselves.
Second, a leader is able to find his new talent by doing more his best for his groups. This is becuase whatever the work is from siginificant one to trivial one, even if it is not familiar with him, the leader work harder that anybody else to complete the work of group. This makes them have a chance for knowing and developing new skills that they did not know before. For instance, during my college years, I took part in the christian club. When I was a member, I only attended a few activities that I was interested in. In contrast, after becoming a leader, I had to do all of the activities including introducing my club in front of others. At first I did not want to do it. However while introducing and promoting the club before other people, I found it exciting and I was good at telling in front of many people. If I had not become a leader, I would not participate in this work and I would refuse to speak in front of others, not knowing about my talent.
In conclusion, I strongly agree that a leader could have a number of advantages. This is due to the fact that he can reap helpful capabilities for the future and he is more likely to get to know his talents by running a group. On the whole, these benefits would bring personal growth and make him a successful person who leads the society and the world.
