These two positions contain many differences which make many people discuss and consider which one is better. Is it better to be a member of a group than the leader of a group? In our view, we believe that it is better to be a leader than to be a member in a group.

Firstly, the leader can benefit from his or her position by gaining more knowledge and practicing the skills. To be a leader, he or she needs to carry many responsibilities to control the group such as managing the group, leading the group to achieve the goal, and encourage the group to carry on their procession. Leadership can help you to improve your communication skills since you will have to explain and analyze some kinds of decision to the whole group. It also helps you to learn to decide a right decision, manage a plan and negotiate well.

In addition, being the leader of a group can also help you to experience many difficulties. Since leaders have gone through many problems, they will not be afraid to encounter the difficulties but to gain more braveness and confidence to solve it. Accordingly, if there are one hundred problems that they have had, there will be one million solutions that they have also found. Thus, it is obvious that leadership teaches you to be strong.

Finally, a position as the leader can give you more opportunities for your future career and education. Because some people have built their leadership, they are considered by a society as a capable person. Thus, when they challenge for something, they have a priority to be considered among other candidates.

Anyway, you can gain a lot of interesting knowledge and skills when you are a leader.
