Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to be a member of a group than to be the leader of a group. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Being a member of a group is a quality, which is not possessed by everyone. You have to take into account other members' interests, adapt to the team rules and share your opinion. Not everyone wants and is able to be a leader, because it demands special qualities like persistance, ambitiousness, initiativeness.  And I am sure, that such people are more intelligent than the other group members. For example, we sometimes prepare thesis at school. We form groups of students and select a leader who is responsible for the whole research work. When I am selected, I hate this role, because I should divide the tasks, make sure the work is done. And at last,  I should watch that everybody presents his/her part perfectly. But if I am a member of the group, I just do my part and don't worry about the others. So, for me it's easier to be a member.
