Well done, something to be proud of.

As Shakespeare said,

"Some people are born great,
Some achieve greatnes, and
Some have greatness thrust upon them."

A case of all three perhaps?

But seriously, there are people who naturally appear to be leaders. This isn't about being in control. There are those simply for which control has to exist. They, as myself, abhore or even get anxious when control is lacking in a situation and it is just such times that they inadvertently find themselves excuding that needed control. It is a great character to be a natural leader. I commend you. Well done.
