The Introverted Leaders

Do you prefer to work alone, dread socialising during the Friday happy hour, and loathe public speaking? If you answered yes, then you're most likely an introvert! However despite what many think, that doesn't mean that you can’t become a great leader. Introversion and leadership may not seem like a likely combination at first glance, but in fact, it’s exactly people with this type of personality that more often than not, excel in this career path.

From Albert Einstein to Mark Zuckerberg, history is littered with the legacies of famous introverts who have become pillars of inspiration and role models that many aspire to. They've proven that you don't need to be the loudest person in the room to be heard. That's because being in charge has less to do with your personality and more to do with your approach and passion for effectively managing people to achieve your goals. Introverts tend to think before they speak, learn through listening, and are extremely self-aware. They have a natural aptitude for these vital skills that separate good leaders from the pack. It takes a certain kind of person to be in charge, inspire a team, and grow a company.

 So if you're passionate about what you do and the people that work there, then don’t let being an introvert hold you back from dreaming of a bigger future. Start looking to sharpen your managerial and business management skills as well as enhance your practical soft skills.
