I have been reading the answers here so far and most people are saying the same thing that I'm about to say, but missing one vital point.
When most people think of the word 'leader', there is a responsibility tied to that word that panics a lot of people. We expect a leader to be strong, bold, and be able to solve problems instantly. All these are admirable properties, and anyone possessing those qualities here in SFI would be a fantastic leader. But many of us just starting out don't possess the confidence in ourselves at the start to live up to what we define (incorrectly) as a leader.
