The leader plays a vital role in a group.Whenever any group does activities, the result on the whole depends on the capacity of the leader.That's why, the group members take into the consideration to decide whom to select for the leader but why do people avoid being a leader? Even though it is burden to be such, being a leader is very satisfactory and can develop leadership skills.Hence I think it is more advisable to be a leader than being a follower.
To begin with, Provided that we are a follower, We have to act mandatorily according to the commands of leader.Even though we can argue with the leader if not satisfied with his commands but at last, we have to follow him.It is very stressful.On the other hands, if we as a leader control the group members, it is very satisfying.We can always determine all the reactions in every situations.To reinforce my opinion, I would like to take one of my example.When I joined the hiking club in high school, I was not a leader because I was fresher.We always discussed which moutain to go for hiking but my opinions were always ignored and only leader could give the final decision.Therefore I had to go to some moutains which I disliked to go but When I became senior, I got a chance to be a leader and I decided all the moutains to go for hiking.It was not stressful and satisfying.
Moreover by being a leader, we can develop the leadership skills.Also we learn how to organize the schedules and plans wisely.Leadership is really required for the job when we work in any job.As we show the leadership skills, we can give good impression to the peers.Also by having the experience of being a leader before, we can improve the confidence and the self decision skills.
To sum up, As I have mentioned above, advantages of being a leader outweigh the advantages of being a follower in many aspects.We need to develop the leadership skills as it can be helpful for the job in the future. |
