Up to 50% of people are introverts, and yet traditional leadership books focus on how to fix introversion so you can be a better leader.
Introverts are naturally good listeners, receptive to ideas from others, and reflect deeply - making them empathetic, humble and self-aware. These and other leadership qualities make introverts able to bring out the best of employees and make them feel valued and respected, and the end result is improved team and company performance.
Building on research and interviews by the author,
Rather than changing your personality, Quiet Leader gives everyone - extroverts included - a better understanding of how to become better leaders and create more inclusive cultures. With tangible examples, exercises and new ideas for reflection, youll find ways to enhance your skills by adopting the strategies and tools provided.
