If follower was my answer, I probably would not have posted this... and, come to think of it, I probably would not have been self-aware enough to question it in the first place! :)
I also want to add something to this.. context is EVERYTHING with this question.
You can be a leader in some ways!And then, not be exactly a leader, (but not a 'follower' either) in other ways .
The important thing for me is being a leader in the ways that are most important (character, for one, professionalism, innovation, creativity, and a ton more ways). Then, when you can benefit from guidance in other areas, pursuing it for those areas. Not necessarily being a "follower" but knowing when to take a back seat and learn from a 'leader' in that area.
The question is just too loaded with different avenues to explore!
