Ep. 127 - Why Introverts Can Be Better Leaders

As humans, we often have a tendency to mistake the loudest person in the room for the most confident person in the room, and aggression or being outspoken for strength.

As such, extroverts often have an easier time rising to the top of an organization because they typically thrive by putting themselves at the center, and enjoy the attention or accolades.

Once at the top, however, I’ve found that the traits and behaviors most often associated with introverts are the ones that separate successful leaders from failures.

The key for introverted leaders, then, is to take the things they’re naturally good at, like deep thinking, empathy, and the ability to listen - and augment those skills with a strategic dose of extroversion. If you’re able to find the right balance, you’ll develop a leadership style that is uniquely set apart from others in your industry and will likely rise to the top as the trusted authority in your niche.
