Leadership is an intangible quality found in people that can make a serious difference in an organization and achieve tangible results. This article will be about me and will be another step in my development as a leader. Most of the topics covered in this essay come from the various readings done during the semester, my life experiences, and the different lessons taught during the classes of this course. There are a number of lessons I learned this year that have stuck with me and most likely will for a long time. Before this course I didn't exactly have time to focus on myself as a leader. This article is intended to reflect on myself and the lessons learned throughout my life. The document will begin with section A which will discuss who I am as a leader and describe my complete leadership style with examples from specific situations.

Building on this, I have a tendency to build friendship, trust and warmth between groups. I also have a high tendency to find a very organized and structured way to get work done. Despite this, I don't consider myself the most charismatic leader because I can be quite introverted at times. I believe this is due in part to my low self-esteem compared to other VMI cadets. I am extremely confident at times, but I will have moments where I am not sure of anything. This is definitely a weak point. I would always have slumps in high school. I'm working on being much more consistent. As a leader, my meltdowns can affect other people, not just myself. According to the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, they are at the top in every single category. Nothing here really surprises me that much. A weakness I can see here
