When there is a capable and effective leader in place, I have no problem following. With my busy schedule, sometimes I like being able to just be an Indian and not worry about being a Chief.
Meanwhile, when there is a leader who is not doing his or her job or could be doing it better, I tend to step up and offer my support and suggestions. Normally, I end up being the leader of whatever plan of action I suggest. It tends to go like this:
ClassyLady: "Leader, why don't we try ABC?"
Leader: "That sounds like a great idea. Why don't you get it together and let me know how it goes?"
P.S. Am I the only one who instantly thought of MTB2 and the clip where everyone in the group was talking about how they were the real leader of the band?
