iBot Poll: Which Do You Do?

Depends....

But mostly, I'm a "team player." I like to do things with others. I like to work toward consensus and common goals. That requires a bit of leading and following, asking questions and suggesting possible answers, listening and speaking.

I like to follow, but now I also have to lead, which I dont always do, sometimes the kids lead me, especially the middle one. That way mom! He's good w finding the right way. I really had to get used to it. First wives must follow and w my dad it was always listen and follow and now all of a sudden they expect me to lead some kids lol.

I avoid everyone LOL these polls. Hi iBot!!

I tend to be an introvert and follow more then I lead. I tend to pick my times to speak up and even then don't like to lead. :crazy:

I think anyone who posts on forums is an introvert LOL.

I will be a leader if I don't think something is being done well, but I usually follow

I do both, but prefer to be left to do what I want and everyone can make there own mind up..lol

I want to lead if someone actually listens but since noone does im like bye then not. Thats why unraised kids arent welcome at my place anymore. I live here for my fun. I used to lead the kids w church, not my kids, I only had a baby then. Tssss. Do all that effort. Theyre too lazy to listen. Bye. Then not. Let your parents do that.

Lol adults same thing. Not that I really wanted to lead but it was a bit weird if my ex gave lessons to the women so he wrote em and if i could give em. They were like: who are you? We know better. Well have fun then. Bye. One time never again lol. At the office I have a guy who always tells me what to do. Lovely. Its when I function best. I also still do what my ex says. He really likes to lead. If the kids dont listen: Im gonna call daddy!! lol

Context dependent.

I follow when it makes the most sense from every angle. Such as if I'm starting a new job and need to learn how things are done there. After I'm there a while I may lead with some ideas on how things could be improved.

Otherwise, I don't see myself as much of a leader or follower when it comes to a lot of different things. I did more when I was younger, but most of the time now I just sort of blaze my own path. I honestly think that to a large extent the Internet makes this easier - as one comes to realize all the different paths people take in life, how different people can be in how they think, what they do and how they do it. The world of "what is normal" hammered into people by corporations, advertisers, and governments through the classic mediums (television/movies) has a large counterbalance in the form of the internet. I honestly think that that is why some governments (especially oppressive ones) try to limit their citizen's access to it. I should add that being single without a socially conscious partner also makes things easier.

I'm a follower
