I learned something while helping to organize the Joint Installation.
There are two types of people; the Follower and the Leader.
Typically followers wait for instructions. They usually ask :
What should I do next?
Then ?
How do you want me do it ?
The Leaders , on the other hand ask:
What do you want me to do?
What is my mission?
What should I achieve?
Followers have many questions after getting an answer to the innitial question.
Leaders ask THEMSELVES the following question : Did I achieve what I set out to do?
Followers wait for recognition before willing to proceed to the next task.
Leaders are spurred on by the achievements they have made.
So are you a leader or a follower?
Did you come to Toastmasters to learn to be a leader, or a follower?
