During my time here at Maryville I have found that I have a difficult time assuming a leadership role when I’m in a group with other individuals who have stronger/dominant personalities.

We knew what he expected out of us and we as a team appreciated the guidelines. I feel that I naturally have the trait to lead by example and this draws others towards me. Therefore I would have to say I’m an emergent
