Does a leader follow or lead?

Warning: Christianity Thoughts that might be important to international regulation. Thoughts from someone that is a Christian and who is not a preacher, priest, or minister.

A leader that doesn’t follow laws, won’t be a leader for long. That said if a leader just reiterates points of view others have they have potential to be looked at like a puppet, a yes man, like they are just the byproduct of other alphas in the room.

“If you want to be a leader learn to follow”, for power learn to submit? There is value in learning why people follow, how to follow, what it means to be a good follower and a bad follower. If one leads one has the benefit to gain from knowledge of following as a system.

It is a pretty common problem, that if you put multiple men in the room, some might try to gain power, power in a way that leverages others via status, charm, type of communication. Who is the leader and who is the follower factors into delegation as useful. One gives orders – and whether someone is a good follower or not sometimes depends on if the follower takes orders.

Men if they don’t accept other males leadership at times, reinforce that they are the alpha in the room, might be set to untrustworthy, less trustworthy, unable to be invested in. Knowledge of all this overtime might not lead to ideal support because it might lead to fee first problem – they might be trying to alpha me and since I don’t want to be alpha-ed I don’t want to, have to listen – listening, accepting, taking orders, doing what they say reinforces they are the one in charge, the alpha in the room.

The combination has potential to lead to problems with coworkers and coworkers set to friends. Who is the alpha when people are on the clock, who is the alpha when people are off the clock? Same or different? Leadership roles have potential to isolate because they create power dynamics, power dynamics people that just want friends aren’t always trying to turn up. Just want friends and desire to be valued as a leader has potential to convolute – people need friends and support, relatable, desire to not be disrespected as a leader, as an alpha, as king of your own castle, your own man is relatable.

My guess is this alpha dynamic likely factors into some of the problems we see on the world stage. Having one’s own opinion, own voice, not always seen as falling in line, not falling in line might be viewed as disrespect when people are sometimes trying to be their own man.

If a man doesn’t listen, doesn’t accept orders they might be seen as “you are part of the solution or part of the problem”. There is sometimes truth in straightforward and polarizing. Basically words that say half in will be devalued as forced momentum, forced momentum that might lead to bandwagon appeal – everyone is doing it, thus you have to. You are with the cause or against the cause not all pretty.

USA claims to value Freedom of Speech and Distribution of Power, more than one voice in the room – republics. That said an alpha row is hard to uninspire in leadership. I feel like Christ and The Church could deliver higher value over time, 2000 years on the alpha in the room problem? Yes. Two football teams go out to a party together after a match, no potential for alpha in the room problems? Prayer or human nature, which one is more powerful? It would be nice to not have to ask that question.

Two people want to be leaders and want followers. At the end of the day, one gains power, and the other loses support. With a God that reinforces Golden Rule and love, really ideal to say F support for anyone? Will the leader who values Golden Rule be valued by society more or less? Trying to do right by everyone might be seen as unassertive, clear demarcation you’re right they’re wrong is valued. Thus, humble is not always promoted, and thus alpha row is not always uninspired.

“Just sit down, you are no alpha, take orders like the half man that you are” – combination not all pretty – might be in the head of the leader, or the follower truly appreciated? Christianity, Golden Rule, Think better of each other…. no reason to turn up? Likely to be thinking that thought when looking at me, or I should think better about the other person? Might be thinking something completely different potential for A-ing my comprehension on false information.
