I have a very strange relationship with leadership. I want people in my group/team/organization to do things in the most efficient way possible and I tend think that I am, in most situations, able to clearly see the most efficient route. Therefore I usually take leadership opportunities; I don't want to have to deal with someone else trying to lead and doing things in a way that could easily have been streamlined. I'm aware that sounds extremely arrogant, but I'm an intj; what am I supposed to do? However, I find that once I'm in these leadership positions, I hate it. I abhor having to micromanage people and get frustrated very quickly when people don't get the bigger picture of what we're trying to accomplish and need to be given step-by-step instructions on how to do every little thing. So then I don't push to lead the group next time and I hate that, too, because usually the person in charge doesn't know what he/she is doing. When this happens I kind of disregard that person and do things how I want to do them anyway. This is why I strongly dislike most group work, except for in situations where every single person involved is just as/more intelligent and qualified than I am. Is this an intj thing? Am I just an arrogant prick? I've noticed there are a lot of people with my type here on tumblr, so I'd love to know what you guys think.
