It is better to be a leader than a follower, because sometimes you can't trust your given leader.

When choosing to lead or follow it is a great idea to sit down and scrutinize your leader's way of commanding. If your leader's principles are corrupt, then you would not want to continue to follow them. At this point, it is better to be a leader than a follower.

Leading isn't a preferable position to following, because not all people are their best in this position, and circumstances dictate who is best for this role.

While some people possess skills that help them to perform in leadership roles more effectively than others, other people are the most productive as followers. Mostly, circumstances that call for anyone taking a role of leadership are more aptly described as ones reflecting a moral or social responsibility scenario than any other situation.

I think both being a leader and being a follower have their unique advantages, since leaders make their own ways, but do so with much greater risk.

I think that sometimes it is better to be a leader and, other times, it is better to be a follower. Leaders make their own way, but, as a result, they are also more responsible, and put themselves at a greater risk than followers, should something go wrong.
