Appreciation
Leadership of groups outside the classroom is not something I prioritize. When asked to lead, I usually decline because this requires that blocks of time and multiple tasks be regularly scheduled and attended to. Some people are born managers and leaders. And I greatly appreciate those who devote their time this way. But I’m not naturally inclined to lead groups being too individualistic, egalitarian, distracted, and impulsive by nature. Though I have proven myself to be a capable leader when asked, I generally prefer to put my life energy elsewhere.
