Whether it is in their family, their community, or at their work, quiet leaders love positivity. A quiet leader is someone who thinks first before they talk. They are not ego driven and speak out, and most of the time are cool, calm, and collected. As well, a quiet leader usually likes to take initiative and make sure things get done on time. People who have had a positive impact on you or others are considered quiet leaders. A key characteristic of a quiet leader is that they listen more than they talk, which is a very positive thing as people will feel as if their opinions matter, and that will make them feel good about themselves.
