Leadership is not for everyone.


So often I  have to interact with type A, alpha, go getting hard charging  people.  The problem is  they are also often jerks, and usually have made one or more bad decisions that lead them to my world. They are one step away from disaster and  usually the author of it themselves. So if you are one of those dynamic type people and everywhere you go people run for cover and avoid you and even more so if the police have been called because of you. I would offer this advice, STOP IT NOW! Being a jerk is not a leadership skill. If you drive all your followers away what are you leading? Leadership is a lot of work with limited reward and thanks. Be sure you are willing to do the work and make the sacrifice.  And if you find yourself  just not willing, well that's OK too. Not everyone should be a leader some are meant to be really great followers, And really great followers  make a leader.
