But even if you are one of them, it may not be enough. The question would now become: Lead. Yes. But lead who?
Are you the kinda of person who can attract others to join you?
Do you have what it takes to become a leader?
Can you both talk the talk & walk the walk?
Have you done anything that’s worth mentioning?….
If one of your answer is “no” or vague, should it be better if you follow others?
Following is actually not bad a thing as long as your leader is great. You will learn a lot from him rather than leading a bunch of stupid people.
Ultimately, you have gotta become a leader – leading others. If you don’t lead, other will lead you. And unfortunately, as said, not all the leaders are great. In fact, many are selfish, arrogant, if not even stupid. They will take advantage of you, treat you as an idiot which you don’t deserve at all.
Lead but lead who? Follow but follow who? They’re not easy questions…
I’m having more people in my team than my bosses have in the office. It’s kinda different but it is a good sign. Keep going!
