I prefer following to leading. Though I've been told I'm a really good leader. heck, I even got a chance to go to DC for some sort of leadership training thing. Never went, but the offer was flattering none the less.
Most of the time it is much easier for me to follow, as that way I don't rustle other peoples jimmies who are seeking a promotion/big part in project/etc.
However, if people come to me for guidance and leadership, sure, I'll even teach them how to fish in the process.
I follow, but I give suggestions and ideas that make sense, so I often end up being either the leader or working with the current leader. However, I'm not opposed to being a lone wolf when everyone else is being stupid.
I WANT to lead... but then someone who is too much of an idiot to argue with comes along, and i just sit back... and I really hate doing that, but I guess thats just who I am.
I walk with people. I don't fallow because when I did I realized I the stories I heard were always one sided. I don't lead because no will fallow me, they don't like the side of stories or they don't think I can lead. But they'll never know will they.

Most people are usually so bad of a leader that I can't stand NOT relieving them of their duties, Lol.
