Vincent, is this for the Chevening Scholarship? If it is, then let me tell you right off the bat that if you pass this essay to the reviewer, he is going to reject your application. You are only talking of an idea of leadership in this essay. Your narration does not show how you embody the role of leadership in your profession. There is no clear example of your leadership and influencing skills in the right context as being a simple volunteer does not count as a professional experience. You are not mentioning anything regarding a leadership role that you portrayed. The prompt demands that you showcase your leadership skills within your line of work because that ties in directly to the other essay prompts that you are going to be writing. Read the leadership and influencing examples here. Figure out how you can prove your professional leadership skills in a similar vein. The quote about Steve Jobs doesn't help your essay at all because he is speaking of his idea of leadership but it doesn't translate into something that relates to your professional experience. Therefore, the quote doesn't help your essay along and should not be used in this essay. This is not the kind of leadership and influencing essay that will have the reviewer thinking that you could actually be some sort of professional leader in your country. The essay that you wrote doesn't represent the correct prompt requirements.
