For many years, the world of business has been dominated by the extroverted, loud, and outgoing. These are the people who are often seen as natural-born leaders, the ones who are always in the spotlight. But what about the quiet ones? The introverts?
In recent years, there has been a growing recognition that introverts can be just as effective, if not more effective, than extroverts in leadership roles. In this podcast episode, we speak with Trans2 Performance consultants Tracy Roberts and James Cooper on introverted leadership, about how introverts are shaking up traditional leadership models and what organisations can do to create more inclusive and empowering workplaces for all types of leaders.
They discuss the unique strengths of introverted leaders, such as their ability to listen carefully, think deeply, and build strong relationships. They will also share insights from their own research and experience on how introverts can overcome their challenges and thrive in leadership positions.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to learn more about the power of introverted leadership and how to create a workplace where all employees can reach their full potential.
