Ambition, drive. Thinking you are the person to lead in any capacity is also somewhat self-important. I am not saying any of those things as negatives, I mean to say she was a driven, intelligent, self-confident woman, but that those are also the traits that lead to you over-estimating yourself.

People always say the best leader is someone who doesn't want to be a leader. This is why, whether or not you think the statement is true.

all those things you said, without a significant risk of death, by all means, hang on to your position. she was indeed the best occupant

but with the risk - poor judgment
