It’s the sensitive who care so deeply and often the first ones who step up to help people and make a difference in the world. HSPs are often organizing ways to help others, starting non-profits, opening food banks, connecting volunteers, observing and fixing cracks in systems.
HSPs are valuable as leaders- they are hard workers, have superior abilities to create powerful teams, lead by example and often most respected by the team, ability to sense people’s strengths and arrange the best teams, etc.
