I received a DM from gym_stu79 this week that took me off guard. Not because it was an off-putting query but more because I needed time to really dig in and think about it. I didn't want to answer in text so decided to take some time to reflect and now share.

What kind of Leader was I?

As I fumble through various categorizations and walk through the timeline of the beginning of my career until now, only a few things seem to pattern consistently. 

I was always evolving. Going from getting comfortable in a position to becoming set in some way to then finding myself in a new position or environment to draw upon the past but to remain stagnant if I didn't evolve.

Maybe the most important thing that came out of this reflection exercise was identifying what I am today, where I can try to grow moving forward, and appreciate that it is an ever slowly evolving process to be enjoyed - not stressed about.
