    Introversion and Leadership: Dealing with SSLG Officer Pressure

    Best quote from Introversion and Leadership: Dealing with SSLG Officer Pressure

    “

    Leadership isn't about being the loudest person in the room; it's about using your quietness, deep listening, and strategic thinking as specialized tools to build trust and solve problems.

    ”

    Input question

    I'm too introvert and neutral or nonchalant for this world. Sometimes I hate the fact that there's a lot of people here on earth. I want to fly to space. Then next school year the teacher would encourage us to become SSLG officer because next years we are senior high student then it's better if the officer is older but I don't have leadership skills. I don't want to participate.
