[Admirable traits]

Do you believe in an extrovert or introvert for good leadership? We're often told that you need to listen more than you talk, but then, who is supposed to do the talking that we aren't supposed to? Being in business has taught me a lot of things in that you learn to unlearn to listen to mediocre statements of opinions, and do what works for you in your situations. And, one of those things to challenge was that of the type of personal traits profiles that makes it in business, hence this topic.

When you are an employee it's very different to an employer, and as one you can afford to be too much of yourself than it does with being an employer in that rigidity doesn't pay well than it does with flexibility. You can afford to not take calls after hours but not a luxury for an employer to enjoy. The mindset is totally different and none can blame you at all. There is a thinking that extroverts aren't wise enough compared to introverts as leaders. But then, won't it be safe to say that almost all of us are same but different in dominance of any of the two? We all are ambiverts by nature I would love to think, and but leaning more to either introvert side or extrovert one, and this most likely occurring when meeting people for the first time.

Now, as a leader, how will you be able to communicate your vision, timelines, etc. if you talk less? You have to coach, sell and guide others, and none can do all sorts sans talking for long. Best we agree that there should be room for learning and that involves listening more for effective conversing. Successful ones in business are good story tellers, situational directors, salespersons, re-inventors, public speakers, etc. and all of which are dependent on clear and effective expression.

In conclusion: it at the end of the day matters less whether you are an introvert or extrovert, what needs your attention is skillset and mindset to make it. You may say less but not say punchy stuff the minute you say something. I know it works being seen as mysterious but then again in business I've come to a conclusion that it works opposite to that, they trust an open book quicker than a closed one, and that's what I would confidently encourage you to be. For me, just focus on being a better conduit of sought information and support it with admirable traits in mannerism and you'll be likable as 'you' in response to each situation you get yourself in. Do that and you will be proud of self many times henceforth...dp
