Myths of Introverted Leadership

Thoughts 3 years ago Speak softly, and carry a big stick. President Theodore Roosevelt When we think of leaders, whether in politics, business, or any other field, there are a few stock figures that come to mind: the super-confident glad-hander; the boisterous barker of orders; the orator who wears a crowd like a well-fitted suit. By that measure, extraverts would seem to come out on top almost every time. For an extravert, no one is a stranger, which leads them to swiftly accumulate a list of contacts that can positively dwarf the efforts of an introvert. On the other hand, having a massive list of nearly anonymous names may be less important in many instances than having a smaller circle of well-developed acquaintances, friends, and even partners. It comes down to a question of quality and quantity, and though the latter may be useful if, for example, one is a salesperson who needs a number of leads in order to move a product, an introvert may be much better at discovering the hidden talents of a smaller team, thereby maximizing their effectiveness. Myth 2 — Introverts Are Less Likeable Than Extraverts First impressions can be powerful, but they can also be misleading, which is why a quick smile and a confident handshake can propel an extravert into a leadership position that an introvert may have been much more suited for. And though introverts may overcome a naturally reserved demeanor to mimic the more obviously successful behaviors of extraverts, there will always be a sense that they are swimming against the current by doing so. An introvert may never be able to grab the attention of a room simply by walking into it, but the quiet, calm efficiency of an introverted leader often turns out to be a breath of fresh air for those who have grown tired of the flamboyant failures of the past. Myth 3 — Introverts Are Poor Public Speakers Extraverts tend to relish the audience; introverts shrink from it. While true in many cases, introverted leaders are well aware that public speaking at times is a necessity and can rise to the occasion when needed. However, unlike extraverts, who may often brainstorm out loud, exploring possible options, introverts are all too happy to say what needs to be said and then move on. Typically, introverted leaders, recognizing their potential shortcomings in this area, spend ample time before any speech carefully preparing their remarks, editing them down to their pure essence. And while they may feel underprepared even when overprepared once on stage, their attention to detail often pays off. Take the Gettysburg Address — written and delivered by introvert Abraham Lincoln, it has survived where countless off-the-cuff statements of others have perished from this earth. Myth 4 — Introverts Are Ineffective Managers The stereotype of the introverted manager who hides in his or her office rather than deal with subordinates is certainly true in some cases... Great managers come in all shapes, sizes, and, yes, personality types. Myth 5 — Introverts Avoid Meetings and Other Social Gatherings A common misconception of introverts is that they dislike public encounters, be they business meetings or cocktail parties. More often, introverts are simply more choosy about socializing than their more extraverted counterparts as they need to conserve their energy. In leadership terms, this choosiness can prove beneficial. Where a more extraverted leader might call for one unproductive meeting after another simply because face-time plays to their preferences, an introverted leader, seeking to limit time spent with idle chit-chat, may bring a more focused, task-oriented approach to meetings, reducing both their number and their duration. And employees rarely take exception to these reductions. Less Is More The lesson to learn here is that while extraversion may make leadership positions easier to handle or more viscerally enjoyable, introverts can be just as competent as extraverts in leadership roles, particularly when they play to their own strengths while compensating for their weaknesses. In leadership, results are ultimately what matter, whether those results are achieved by a more socially attuned extravert or an actively listening introvert. We have ignored four other scales such as Intuitive vs. For Myth 3, it's exactly spot on in my case: I heavily dislike long phone conversations, and I prefer text messaging, as I can revise my words as long as possible. Though, as a valued Boy Scout, I excruciatingly miss the opportunity to be SPL simply because the recent winner plays Football and has an 8-pack. Sure, I perform low-risk Parkour, but I don't brag or excel. Introverts are really amazing. I have friends who are introverts and I've learned that if you get to know them they are the most friendliest people ever : I have also realized that my introvert friends are usually my most trustworthy friends too.

Not wanting introvert manager reach out con because of the strong fear of locking up in mid-communication. They are top business practitioners who have been in the trenches-and who bring their distinctive insights, practical experience and illuminating personal anecdotes to every AMA seminar session they lead. I had the same problem and I find that practicing jesus in my head before helps so that I'm not stuck on finding the right words to say. Preparation feeds the strength of focused conversation. I can speak from considerable experience on this. NOTE: You must watch videos in their entirety and all the way through to the end for our system to north your viewing activity accurately.
