People may be leaders to a greater or lesser extent, but it is impossible not to be a follower too. Because our genetics have us pegged as communal creatures, a social structure which demands many more indians than chiefs, on balance the vast majority must be followers.
The corollary of which is that it is as foolish to feel proud if one is generally recognized as a leader, as it is to feel ashamed if one is a follower. Both states are determined just as surely as eye or hair color.
