Economics & Business; Advice on careers & achieving success

You don’t have to be loud to be a good leader.

Up to 50% of people are introverts, and yet traditional leadership books focus on how to “fix” introversion so you can be a better leader.

But what if being an introvert was the thing that made you better? Introverts are naturally good listeners, receptive to ideas from others, and reflect deeply - making them empathetic, humble and self-aware. These and other leadership qualities make introverts able to bring out the best of employees and make them feel valued and respected, and the end result is improved team and company performance.

Building on research and interviews by the author,

Quiet Leader will help all introverts understand the value they add to their organisation, be proud of the skills they have, and understand the extrovert bias they encounter. Extrovert readers will find ways to enhance their performance using the natural skills of the introvert and learn more about the benefits of neurodiversity. Rather than changing your personality, Quiet Leader gives everyone - extroverts included - a better understanding of how to become better leaders and create more inclusive cultures. With tangible examples, exercises and new ideas for reflection, you’ll find ways to enhance your skills by adopting the strategies and tools provided.

Elizabeth Honer, former CEO of a UK central government agency ""Unique insights into the value introverts bring to leadership roles. A must-read for contemporary leadership theorists."" Peter M.

This book should be part of the national curriculum! Any organisation wanting to optimise employee performance should make this book part of their internal training."" Ellen Brataas, CEO Institute of Internal Auditors Norway. “I’m usually the loudest person in the room.
