He showed this leadership quality when he was in prison copying down the dictionary. When he was in Norfolk Colony Prison Malcolm realized that he wasn't articulate. So to reverse that he started copying the dictionary. He started with the A's and he eventually went on to copy the whole dictionary. But the amazing thing, which shows his intelligence, was that he remembered most of the words he wrote down. This opened up the world of reading and conversation to him. If he hadn't have such a great mind he'd never have become such a great leader.Those were just some of the leadership qualities shown by Malcolm-X in his autobiography. His innovative mind helped him accomplish what he did. His determination helped him learn so much. His intelligence opened up a whole New World to him. But in the end all of these qualities are what made Malcolm-X such a great leader.
