Leadership is always evolving overtime, because there are a plethora of ways to express leadership. However, during one point in my life, I view leadership only in one way. I believed that a leader was a very outspoken person that naturally commands the attention of others. Hence, my old views of leadership led me to believe that I was not a leader.
My pre-conceived notions of leadership qualities were the complete opposite of how I am. I often consider myself to be a introvert. I do not always like to be the center of attraction, and I am not the most outspoken person. Therefore, I did not always view myself as a natural leader.

These leadership qualities prove humbleness and strength, because it can be hard to accept the criticism of others.
