>> Being permanently in front is a exhausting to me. I tend not to enjoy it much. I'm fine with being first mate the entire time, but being captain is usually more than I'm up to giving. I am getting better at it though. <<
It's good that you know yourself, your abilities, and your preferences. Do what works for you. There is usually a glut of leaders and a dearth of followers.
>> My high school Biology teacher talked about the "bus test" where if you were hit by a bus, someone needs to be able to pick up your notebook and know exactly how everything happened. I tend to follow that rule when I'm organizing for a community or cause. <<
That is an awesome rule and I wish more people would follow it.
>> Oh! I read your article this morning. <<
Thank you!
>> By the definitions given there, I definitely display a trend towards followship. I'm not sure if I'm a particularly good follower, but it is what I like and how I prefer to act. <<
