Description
In our outgoing, Type-A business culture, introverts can feel excluded, overlooked or misunderstood, their reticence mistaken for arrogance or even lack of intelligence. And their inconsistent people skills often cause their careers to plateau. But Jennifer Kahnweiler shows that not only can introversion be managed, it can even be a source of strength. Ask Bill Gates or Warren Buffett, leaders she cites as shy introspectives who have developed ways to thrive in a challenging environment.It is estimated that as many as 40% of executives are introverts. Based on conversations with over 100 introverts, Kahnweiler lays out a progressive four-step strategy for succeeding in an extroverted world. Preparation: carefully devise a game plan for any potentially anxiety-producing situation. Presence: knowing that you're prepared, be completely focused on the present moment. Push: with this firm foundation, go beyond your comfort zone. And finally, practice, practice, practice.
