I am going to start my feedback by giving you my conclusion: I believe you should give yourself a few more months of time.
You are a very competent, mechanical player, and I cannot say you have ever done grievous wrong by me at the least. You clearly know how to play security and have spent a lot of time as all roles in security, from assistant to officer, detective to captain. Your recent work with updating security and creating the evidence room is all the more evidence of your love for the game, and I am grateful for everything you have done for the community in that regard. With that said, I do not believe you are currently a good candidate for Head of Security.
My interactions with Jack Hunter are usually met with the same issues - Jack is very focused and in tune with the progress of a round, to the detriment of everything else. When you play other roles you tend to end up hanging out around security and or command. When you do play a security role you tend to go quiet very often and do not lead the officers - in my experience you communicate no worse than other officers but not to the level HoS is needed to communicate. I have on at least one occasion talked to what seemed like a new security assistant and offered them training, spending a lot of round time doing so only to find out it was Jack random naming. I have been shot lethally by Jack because I patted their shoulder and they shot me out of a "fear reflex of being hunted by the Syndicate", and on a few occasions I have witnessed Jack threatening to sue others for shooting him.
Some actions I believe you can take that will make a huge difference:

Some actions I believe you can take that will make a huge difference:
- Take more time to roleplay with the rest of the crew, invest in their stories as much as your own. Jack seems like he has a lot of backstory behind him, but I never get to really see that much, and there are a lot of people on station who would love to learn it too - they can also potentially enhance his backstory and vice versa!
- Sometimes you lead from the front, but sometimes you need to lead from behind too - If you see an officer that looks overwhelmed, take time to help center them too. Maybe medical is shaken up from an attack, let others handle the next emergency if its possible so you can stick around medbay and reiterate that security is there for them.
- Let others have a place in the round too. Encourage a diverse source of feedback from all command about punishments or issues - the RD may not be in charge of security but you can certainly ask their opinions on things when it involves their employees or expertise too.
- I would suggest you try to learn more roles on the station. I am unsure if you know how to set up the engine, or cook food, or test artifacts. While the Head of Security is usually not doing those things, I think it helps to have a broad scope of how to help others in the round - as HoS you're a whitelist individual and you have an innate trust factor.
- Sometimes its okay to not do things by the books. I don't mean beating people to death for minor transgressions, but HoS is a very blurry role and sometimes you can't be technically correct in a very strict way. Not everyone will like your decisions, but learning to make decisions that benefit the round as a whole and give people the most forgiveness and leeway only helps everyone.
