The Introverted Leader: Authentic Leadership Built on Your Strengths
Date:
Tue, Jan 28th, 2020Time:
5:30 pm to 8:30 pm
Description:
We like to think of an introvert as someone who is shy and withdrawn. Someone who doesn’t really like talking to people - and maybe doesn’t even like people at all.
Someone who blanches in terror when asked to speak in public. Someone who would rather read than lead. Someone who’s kind of insecure, who likes to be a wallflower.
The traditional business world would say that introversion is a stumbling block, something that keeps you stuck at the bottom of the corporate ladder.
(One 2006 Harvard Business Review study found that 65% of senior corporate executives view introversion as a barrier to leadership.)
But this caricature is nowhere even close to reality.
The fact is, introverts can run businesses, lead teams, come up with new innovations, emcee events, and look great doing it.
