▶ Your Answer : When it comes to being leader or follower, people share different perspectives. Some people might say being a follower is better, because if you are a leader, you should take a risk. As far as I am concerned, I agree the statement for the follwing two reasons.
To begin with, If I can be a leader, I can build much more relationships than being a follower. To be specific, If you are a leader, you should contact every member in the group when there are meetings or soem notices. If you are a follower, however, you can just recieve the contact from leader, and you don not have to concact every single person in the group. In addition, in the meeting, everyone knows who is a leader, but followers can not know each other. For instance, I was a leader in the travel circle when I was a high school student. Every travels, I had to contact every single person in the circle, so now I have been keeping the relationships with the members for over 10 years, but there are not familiar relationships between the followers. It is hard to build relationships between the followers, because they had hardly contacted each other.
Furthermore, I can make the skill to solve problems, if I am a leader. When a leader organize a group, there can be some problems, so leaders have responsibilities to solve those things. I guess responsibilities give a leader the skill to solve problems. If you are not a leader, I do not have any responsibilities, but if you are a leader, you should solve some problems, having the responsivilities. For example, When I was a leader in a travel circle, there were various provblems. I should solve misunderstanding between members, because I have the responsibility to solve the problem and make the cirvle peace. In order to solve the misunderstanding between members, I can get a communication skill, trying to solve the misunderstanding.
In conclusion, If you are a leader, you can build more relationships thatn being a follower, and you can get the skill to solve some problems in the groups, so I agree the state ment that being a leader is better than being a follower. |
