I need help putting a word to a personality.

[babelipsss]

Flip-flopper?

 

[Colin$mackabi$h]

no label.

 

[7figz]

"Batman" ?

He's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

Flip-flopper?

not sure this fits...

a flip-flopper cant make their mind up or make a decision or stick to a decision.

you can be alpha yet be a flip flopper.

this is not about decision making

Awesome. The word you're looking for is 'awesome'.

 

[babelipsss]

How can someone be awesome when they don't want to lead? They just stand around and wait to be told what to do. Sounds wishy washy.

 

[The_Jackal]

You can't want to not lead and can't not to want follow. By default you are following in a situation that calls for either of them

if you dont want to lead people but you are ok making you own path.

leaders are only leaders because people want to follow them. so does that mean if you ask people not to follow you even when you have a good leadership qualities...does that make you wishy washy or not wanting to be responsible for others

so if a teacher can be taught something, does that make them only a student by default

Balanced.

i can go for these

so if a teacher can be taught something, does that make them only a student by default

But the assumption with that is that the teacher ultimately only wants to teach and expects to learn nothing from their student. Not to mention teaching and leading are two different concepts.

If you defer leadership then you are a follower. If you accept responsibility and want to plan your/others course then you are a leader

False. Just because someone doesn't want to lead does not mean they can't function themselves without leadership. In most situations, I have no interest in taking responsibility for another grown person and trying to show them how to get where they're going. I know when I'M going and how to get there. Others need to figure that shit out for themselves.

I can only give myself as an example. I'm pretty much exactly what you described in the O/P. If there is leadership in place and it's competent, I have no problem falling in line. If there is no leadership in place or the leadership is incompetent, I have no problem taking the reins. In most situations, I don't feel the need to try to dominate others, but I also won't be dominated in most situations. Basically, I'm a classic INTJ.

It's important to be flexible and to be able to play different roles when the situation calls for it and to be even keel.

not true,

i can be a great basketball player and not want to lead a basketball camp. but just because the other players on my team give me the ball in the clutch doesnt mean i am leading my team.they are defaulting to the better player for the situation.

But you just made my point homie. You are the best shooter on the team but not the leader. So when crunch time comes the leader delegates the duties, executes the play and gets you the ball. You may or may not hit the shoot but the game play that the leader chose was to it the ball to you. Was that clear? Feel like I'm being kinda unclear here
