Leadership

I was raised the youngest of five boys, so I did not always take on the leadership role. As I got older, I still didn't jump up and take the leadership role right away. I don't mind being a follower (somebody has to be) and I certainly don't mind being the leader (somebody has to be). The only problem I have with being the leader is that I don't want the other people to think that I want to have control over all the decisions. I only take on a leadership role when I feel like the group I'm working in at the time needs to be redirected or have a broader view of things. In other words, I like to be a follower and see how things are being run, but when I think the goals of the group are sliding or the group isn't working, I'll step in. (That was all about a group in general, not the Guardians of B230).
When we took the first test about our leadership abilities, my group's average verses my own beliefs were practically the same. All but 2 of the traits averaged out to 4.66, and most of my traits were 5s. On the second test, i was not surprised at all to see that I got 30/30 for my Technical Skill Score; after all, I am a technologist. The Human Skill Score was lower, and my Conceptual Skill Score was lower still.
