Becoming a Leader: Developing Your Style and Making Sound Decisions
Can introverts be leaders?
Leaders are often described in terms synonymous with extroversion: outgoing, gregarious, forceful, dynamic. But often, the best leaders are introverts who possess a quiet power. Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Warren Buffett, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg are just a few examples.
In a corporate setting where being reserved isn’t always looked upon as a leadership trait, how can introverts leverage their strengths and find their management style?
In this program, we will challenge the conventional definition of leadership and explore the significant value of introverted personality types within an organization.
