Do you see yourself as a leader in your workplace, social group, family or community?
Not really. I'm the negotiator. I make sure everyone is more or less okay with what is going on. Or if I don't agree, I go ahead and organize a splinter group. I also have the sinking suspicion I may be too individualistic or selfish to be a good leader.
What are the leadership skills you value most in yourself? in others?
I guess the idea of being able to see the big picture. I admire the people that actually make it happen. I'm not too detail oriented.
Do you like leading or do you prefer to follow?
I guess I'm an okay follower, because I'm too apathetic to do things. On the other hand, I don't like following because there is a certain sheep-like quality.
Do you think the same things make for a good leader of a small group and a large group?
Not necessarily. A larger group requires more consensus building and a bit more of crowd control. In either case, you need to be a good manipulator.
What makes for a bad leader?
Not checking your ego at the door. Not listening to what your followers want. Being selfish. Those that follow you are not your toys.
