I haven’t done one of these in quite some time and this one kind of intrigued me , so I thought I’d answer.
It makes me think of when you play any sort of group video game and each player has their roles; Tank, Healer and DPS (Damage per second). I always played a Healer myself, it’s just the role that suit me best, And even though most people thought it was a support class, and to a degree it IS, it also has the aspects of a leader. Without a Healer, the Tank and DPS can’t really proceed. A Healer holds all the cards in a sense, your life is in their hands.
For myself, I feel like because I fit that role so easily, I’d say that I’m a bit of a leader and a follower. In certain aspects of life I’ve let others take the reigns, especially if it’s something out of my scope of comfortability and knowledge. Allow those who could leader properly to do so; this usually occurred during group projects, especially while I was working. Playing the support role was just better for me in those instances. Plus, public speaking….NO THANKS!
Now you are probably wondering, ‘Okay, but you said you were a bit of both, so where is your leadership side?!’ Good question Ace, let me explain.
I’m a quiet observer on a good day and I don’t tend to speak up often, but when I do… look out! I’m a pretty knowledgeable person, though most people may not think so (the resting bitch face probably doesn’t help!) But my leadership skills stems to my family. I am the one everyone goes to to organize family events, ask for medical advice (I worked in the medical field for a short time), being the support system and confidant, “super” mommy, schedule keeper, appointment maker, trip packing expert, and home chef. I take care of my family and all that accompanies. It may seem silly, but a stay at home mom and the youngest daughter of an Italian family makes you a strong leader. I learned from the best, and woman who run a well oiled household is one of the best types of leaders. Just my opinion though.
So there you have it folks, a little of this and a little of that.
Hope you enjoyed and have a wonderful day or night wherever you are in the world!
Ciao!!
