Leadership Accomplishments
There are many different types of leaders. All will experiment different levels of success through trial and error. The word “leader” embodies many different meanings.

One of my greatest accomplishments as a leader was simply growing into one. No one is born with the title of a leader, because it’s something that needs to be earned.

There is still time for me to grow in my skills and become an even better leader than I am
