I am very much a leader. Being a sergeant in the Marine Corps will do that to a person though. Most people anyways. I have been in leadership positions almost constantly for the last three years.
I can follow when I need to, or if I think I should. I believe every good leader needs to be a follower first and at times. But I am more inclined to lead now than I used to be.

I remember when I was about 10 or 12 years old, in the Boy Scouts of America, I got elected by the other boys to be the Patrol Leader of my small unit. It effectively put me in charge of 5 other boys and gave me chance to be a leader. I was so excited and I told my dad when I got home. He said congratulations and all that, and then looked kind of thoughtful for a second and said that he didn't see me as much of the leader type.
I was a smart kid and knew my personality wasn't really the natural leader type. But ever since he said that, making myself to be a good leader who others look up to has been one of my life goals.
