▶ Your Answer :
A group has two types of participants, a member and the leader. Sometimes
it is often debated which type of joining is more appropriate. Some people
might think that an ordinary person can take more advantages because they can
have more time to think about other issues. However, in my opinion, it is
better for people to be the leader for the following two reasons.
To begin with, people can obtain the sense of the obligation by
exerting leadership. As a leader of the group, people have to undertake the
responsibility with respect to the results of the group events. Therefore, they
can learn about how to become responsible by being engaged in all stages of
decision-making processes and to deal with contingence circumstances. To be
specific, I have a friend who went to the Korea Military Academy and became an
officer in the Army. One day I met him with my friends to go to travel on
vacation and I did not actually expect him to be an authentic decision maker
because he always used to follow the friends' opinions before. However, he was
proficient at taking part of making whole plans including emergency plans and it
was so compelling that everyone thought of his suggestion as reasonable.
On top of that, people can be more confident in facing new
challenges. The leader has to consider about manifold aspects of the group. It
is possible for them to accumulate precious experiences and they are able to
form a flexible thinking ability which will be very conducive to their future.
For instance, when I was a vice president of my university, I could take part
in variety of huge events happening on the campus such as scheduling the
graduation ceremony and setting new library policies, which are not the common tasks
for the normal students. Though it was formidable to handle it at first, I
could get accustomed to the new challenges shortly after I completed several
missions. Eventually, I became a very adaptable person who always willing to
confront the problems.
To
sum up, enforcing leadership in the groups helps people to recognize the
responsibility. Also, they can become an active person readily accepting new
issues by participating in diverse events. In this regard, I strongly believe
that people should be join a group as a leader.
