Is being a leader a recipe for happiness?

In my opinion, no. Leadership might seem as something good and a common goal to everyone but truth is there are lots of people that do not desire to become leaders. Leaders need to have a certain set of qualities and skills that some people simply don’t have or don’t want to have, leaders also have lots of responsibilities that many people don’t want to have. Being a leader may be seen as an extremely good thing in today’s society but the truth is: it isn’t the perfect position. It comes with a lot of responsibility, it is time consuming, it comes with a lot of pressure and it can be extremely stressful. Some people simply don’t want to have that in their lives and in those cases being a leader wouldn’t bring them any happiness. In the end, everything comes down to what each person wants, if a person wants to be a leader then it can bring them happiness, if not, it won’t and can even be a major reason for a person’s unhappiness. We aren't all the same, so what brings hapiness to some doesn't necessarily bring hapiness to others.
