Understanding Introverts

Being shy and being introverted are often used interchangeably, however in reality most introverts do NOT define themselves as being shy – nervous or too scared to interact with others, especially in group settings. Instead, introverts will tell you that they CAN indeed interact and socialize, comfortably, with others; but, it’s not their preference. The ‘intro’ in the term introvert is the key, as introverts are typically very introspective and spend a good deal of time in self-analysis. They examine their own thoughts, preferences, perceptions and observations to gauge their life’s direction and make life choices. The truth is that, introverts are NOT simply timid individuals, who do not possess social skills. In fact, many successful public figures will admit that they are more introverted than extroverted.


Introverts are quite capable of developing and exuding strong personalities and publicly exhibiting their distinctive characteristics without fear.. Accept your personality whatever it is. Participate through active listening, prepare and plan (within reason), lean on your community of advocates, take time to re-energize; but, endeavour to stay connected and be present! Never isolate yourself out of fear or to escape a challenging situation. Never cut off focus and tune out the world and always be yourself!

EFFECTIVE TEAM WORK

WHAT IS TEAMWORK? TEAMWORK is the process of working collaboratively with a group of people in order to achieve a goal. Teamwork is often a crucial part of a business, as it is often necessary for colleagues to work well together, trying their best in any circumstance. Teamwork means that people will try to cooperate, using their individual skills and providing constructive feedback, despite any personal conflict between individuals. A single person sometimes is not capable of making critical decisions alone and taking on big projects without the help of a team. There are many situations when a single person can see only one side of the task or problem. A team is required to see all the aspects of that task, whether good or bad and can make decisions based on everyone’s opinion.
