<3 Leadership <3

I've always thought of myself as a leader. The idea of letting someone else have control over me seriously drives me crazy. I've never really been a follower. I mean there are certain situations and scenarios where I'm willing to just hang out in the back seat, but for the most part, I tend to be the leader. I think honestly that a strength that all leaders should possess is knowing when to take a step back and let someone else take the reins. There are certain situations I know I can't handle so I'm more than willing to let someone else step up and conquer. Or there are situations when I see that someone who is less likely to step up is trying to, so I let them. I think a good leader recognizes that; if someone who is typically a "follower" is putting in the effort to lead, and you know its got to be hard for them to break out of that shell, then sometimes its better to just step aside. I guess what I'm trying to say is that a good leader recognizes that its not always important to be THE leader.
Another one of my strengths is that I'm super intuitive to people's feelings and body language. I can read just about anyone. If I spend about 15 minutes with someone, I can figure out what they're thinking, their strong points, and their weaknesses. I'm a people-reader; a trait that I think is super important in a leader. A leader should know who they are delegating to and the chances of that "issue" getting done.
WEAKNESS: STUBBORN
Ohhh mannn I'm stubborn about some things. More the most part, I would say I'm usually flexible, a very go with the flow type individual. But if theres something I've made up my mind about, thats it. I can be flexible about almost everything, but if I'm set on something happening a particular way, mann it takes a BIGGGGG force to change my mind. I just have this vision of how something should happen and I get sooo wrapped up in it that I have a hard time letting it go.

I plan to make a difference after my first semester, I plan on getting involved in college republicans. Because of a class I took this semester, I wasn't able to do it this semester. But I will next semester and hopefully I can gain some type of leadership position there. Or I was also thinking about being a U101 peer leader maybe? I think I could pull it off... :)
