I prefer to be a leading member in a group project.

The first reason is that it places you in the spotlight. Some people may believe that its disadvantages outweigh its advantages. In my opinion, attention is better than being ignored. Furthermore, when you have something to lose, you will perform better. Few can remember the men in the trenches, but many remember the men leading their fellow men to achieve great things.

Second, one of the most important reasons for becoming the leader in a group is the ability to make a difference. Leaders make decisions that have far-reaching ramifications for a group larger than themselves. Followers are at the mercy of their leaders and do not have this ability. If you have a dream of your own that you can't achieve without the help of a lot of people, you'll need leadership skills to get them behind you.

我喜歡成為一個團隊項目的領導成員。第一個原因是你在聚光燈下。有些人可能認為自己的缺點大于優(yōu)點。在我看來，注意力比被忽視要好。此外，當你關心的時候，你會表現(xiàn)得更好。很少有人記得無名小卒，但許多人記得領導他們的同胞取得偉大成就的人。其次，成為一個群體中領導者的最重要的原因之一就是有能力做出改變。領導者做出決定對一個比自己大的群體有深遠的影響。追隨者們受制于他們的領導者，沒有這種能力。如果你有夢想，你自己的，你不能沒有很多人的幫助下實現(xiàn)的，你需要領導能力，讓他們在你的身后。
