quote:Originally posted by another_someoneYou have not said how the experiment with the car keys went?quote:Originally posted by 4getmenotIs america full of more followers or leaders?There was a saying that my mother used to say from when she was in the Israeli army – and army cannot be full of generals – in other words, there is no point in having leaders unless you have a substantial number of followers. In any group of people, there will always be a few leaders and many followers. If there were no leaders, or if everyone tried to be a leader, there would simply be anarchy.George

I agree with George on his standpoint here..and in order to be a good leader, one must be a good follower...hmmmm, just some food for thought...but please expound if this is not what you are talking about...are there examples that you could share about leaders that you think they are more or less followers??"Lo" Loretta
quote:Originally posted by another_someoneOfcourse, going back to 4getmenot 's original question – it is often remarked upon many western societies, of which the USA is the premier, that everyone wants to be a leader, and no-one wants to follow anyone else's lead. But ofcourse, if no-one is willing to follow your lead, then you can never really be a leader.Whether this insistence that no-one should follow another indicates an inability in the modern world to appreciate the value of providing service to others, or whether it shows an inability to find anyone who is of a calibre of leadership that others would willingly follow, is open to opinion.George
