Hmm....
Leadership: I used to do it a lot more, but after a while realised that for other people. having a leader can be an excuse to fail to take responsibility for their own decisions and stop pulling their weight. Being the named leader means more work. I find myself better placed having someone else in that role, and then giving them the benefit of my opinion often :wink:
Say it myself, I am a brilliant chair of committees though.
Dominance: doesn't interest me as much as it interest certain others in the workplace or in life, so I am happy to let them think they have it, as long as I can have my own way when I really want to, which is usually achievable. Being able to recognise what is not in fact important and step aside is a useful skill.
Taking no bullshit: absolutely, I never do without returning serve:tongue:. I usually reflect on what I thought might have been bullshit though, and can accept if there was an element of truth in it, and own up to that. How else do we grow?
Seems to me if you are always a leader, always dominant, always taking no BS but giving it out....you are always giving your energy out and can't see what others are putting in. That makes you a little blind.
