you are probably an introvert and introverts can make good leaders. for one, they are normally calm, can think and analyse well, and command trust from people.

what you need to do is to develop and work on some of the traits of being "extroverted" while not losing yourself. learn to speak up and present your opinions when necessary, be more assertive when you feel strongly in something etc.

dun think that being 'extroverted' means better. we need traits of either side to be in the society. but you definitely have to learn to work with people. being independent is good, but some tasks can be completed in a much faster and efficient ways when working in teams.
