Hi Divya Dwarak.I am glad you are getting more confidence. Being a young leader is hard, and you need to treat everybody with respect as you become a leader. And you must be humble to the fact that you might do many things wrong as you do not have the experience or knowledge to be flawless. And as a leader you will always do something wrong, I still do, Barack Obama does. How great you will be is about how you act upon things you do wrong, do not hide the fact, and rather do take responsibility and fix things up. You are young; this means that you have every possible opportunity that the world has to offer. I do not know you good enough to say what you should do, so I am going to give you an advice based on what I would do at the age of 18. - First of all, stop worrying about this job, at the age of twenty you might have another job already. Do not stress to become a leader. Start by working hard on the floor. But you have potential as you are reading about leadership. Continue to do so. Buy books about coaching. I would recommend you to start with: Co-Active Coaching, 2nd Edition: New Skills for Coaching People Toward Success in Work and, Life But make sure to buy more than one.It is not impossible to be a leader at the age of 18, but you will have problems with the lack of experience. My last advice is this: Continue to gather knowledge, read about leadership, coaching and motivation. Do not stress about getting a leadership job, as it will come eventually as you knowledge starts to show. You are young, try to get back to school, if it is hard, you still can sacrifice 6-10 years to reach your goals and still have plenty of time to be a leader. Try to get leadership experience in volunteer organizations or some youth club or any of work activity. - And if you continue to learn you will become as great as you want to be. Good luck, and keep in touch.
