Is it okay to be a follower instead of a leader?

I've realized I seem to be more of a follower myself than the leading type.

Even leaders follow someone believe me a true leader should follow his followers if that makes sense.

@jkdguy I just seem to be someone who takes orders better than I give them.

Absolutely! It's the followers who get most of the work done, while leaders (including myself) get most of the credit.

@Casheyane True, if you mean the leader TAKES credit. Unfortunately, people usually give credit to the leader, even if he/she tries to get recognition for the staff.

@exexec Good leaders know to give credit where credit is due. And good leaders don't just give orders.

@Casheyane You are correct, however a leader has to lead others to get the job done. I could do not do the work that my 30 staff members did. I led and they did almost all of the actual work. I gave them credit, and they were rewarded.

It's okay if it works for you. Nothing to be ashamed of too. I wish I could find a good leader myself. Nothing sucks more than having a shitty, incompetent, selfish and greedy leader...
