    Would you say you are a leader? Maybe just by the nature of your personality, or by a given role/job? Is it any different offline and online for you?
     
    I'm a leader by nature. It's been in my blood and it comes to me naturally. Both my parents were leaders at their current jobs, and because of them, I succeeded at becoming one in several organizations and jobs (including being PC mod back in the day!).

    I do have a goal of becoming a leader in my career in 5-10 years time. People in my life have vouched for that and I'm flattered.
     
    I've never really considered myself the leader type. "Advisor" is probably closer to what I am, if anything, I guess.
     
    Aw, man. I thought this was about the demon app game.

    Online. I don't really lead, or try to be one. I avoid that sort of responsibility or behaviour.
    Irl... I do the same. I try to avoid it, but in the end, I somehow get duped into being a leader, if it's in a group.
     
    No, I need others to delegate tasks to me, my confidence is non existent.

    That said, I can if it's really needed.

    irl is the same, but I'm notably more withdrawn.
     
    Never been comfortable being a leader - am way too reserved for it and lack the confidence to do it. I think with confidence and practice it could be possible but at the moment, I dislike leading. :(
     
    In our highschool they did an "experiment" and put us in groups with random kids we didn't know. They gave us ridiculous tasks to find out which kids in the group would take charge and lead through the tasks and which would follow.

    I remember wishing I had just stayed home that day. Most of likely already knew where we fell without this experiment. I don't even like being in groups of people I don't know, so there was no way I was leading a group of strangers. When I'm in a group I'm more comfortable with, I usually don't have a problem leading. When it's friends, I straight up have trouble taking things seriously.

    I feel like the results of this could have been determined with a survey.
     
    I am definitely developing my leadership skills. A lot of my current job has a lot to do with project management and delegating tasks to others while ensuring that these tasks provide development opportunities for them. I'm better at some projects than others, though.
     
    Online? Yes. I work well with a team and I work well solo. It's incredibly easy for me take charge of a situation, organize it, and get results. Especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships and tasks that need completion.

    Offline? I'm more of a support role. I'd rather be the one who has all the tools in her pocket to help rather than doing the actual job, you know? I'll read the walkthrough while you play the game, haha.
     
    I would have preferred this, but instead they made our participation in the experiment could towards one of our class grades.

    That seems pretty unfair, each student has a different comfort & skill level depending on the task but I'm assuming participating got you the grade automatically? Otherwise how would grade that "oh you're not a leader, F"
