^^ One hundred percent agree too. And sometimes those that seek the “titles” are NOT the best leaders.
@Sam-I-Am , my point was Quiet Leaders sometimes simply lead by example - and that, too, is leadership.
Susan Cain also makes the point that good leaders are also good listeners - so somtimes they are silent for a long time before their leadership is apparent.
Many of the kids with “leadership positions” are resume-building because “the colleges want that”.
Personally, I hope colleges are starting to see beyond that. Susan Cain has been a great resource.
