UI student shares leadership journey
In his post, the undergraduate described how holding a major leadership position at a younger age shaped his mindset. He revealed that he was excited initially but soon started struggling with the weight of the office.
Micah said in the LinkedIn post:
"When I was first given the position, I was excited. But as time went on, I began to realize the weight of the responsibility placed on me. I became timid and lacked confidence in myself. I constantly worried about what people thought of me, and that fear affected the way I carried out my duties."
