Being a Leader without Anyone Knowing it

I started from the bottom, didn't really have a direction as to what I wanted to do for work. All I know is I was living to work, and enjoyed helping people. Now, I am in the medical field. And it is stressful, yet rewarding because I get to help people, around me and help patients, and I know more than I did before.

However, at my workplace they play dirty, and they play favorites. I have helped so many co workers get through tough times, I was the one who was outgoing, very positive, up beat, happy go lucky willing to help whenever, whoever, wherever. I had goals set of how I wanted to achieve things and I have done so.

But some people just seem to think they are better than everyone else, they don't respect you like they should. And the bad part is they are adults? They lack communication skills, or they talk behind others' backs. I choose to stay quiet and away from the aggravation. To them it looks as though I withdraw myself but truth is i stay away from negativeness.

I became a leader without no one knowing it. by encouraging my co workers who give up too easily, I inspire people who want to be like me - always happy. I change the subjects when they attempt to talk bad about others. I strive to push others and this is a success story because I have done things that were real challenging and hard.... I have brought new ideals to the work force.
