No, not at all. A big part of leadership is who you are as a person. When you possess these attributes they aren’t easily suppressed, they will shine through. Your colleagues, your leadership will take notice…..sometimes that can trigger negative responses, however that’s a whole different discussion. There is no title needed to take a leadership position, command presence, knowledge, drive, willingness to act, or know when not to act, and your actions on a scene or in an emergency situation.
