Re: Are you a leader or a follower?
Thinking back, I s'pose a 'leader' type (but I prefer to say I just do my own thing).This thread got me thinking back to a job I worked in many, many moons ago. Even though I was a shy little thing, I did have a voice that sometimes spoke on it's own without much thought from me.
At that time I was a secretary. My 'line manager' (who I knew of old - and who basically worked her way up by opening her legs
) loved the colour navy. She decided how wonderful it would be to see the secretaries in suits, navy suits of course. I told her to get stuffed. I wasn't being a clone of her or anybody else. So she sent a memo round saying what she proposed to do, and any thoughts. Guess what the other girls said after I'd voiced my thoughts?
She lost. She never forgave me

Jumped-up line managers, I tell ya. Pah!
