Or, an alternate and equally reasonable position is you can find out what your seniors feel are required assets for you to have and figure out either how to obtain them or, if you already have them, how to appropriately demonstrate that you do. Forgive me for being rude, but your response, even if meant to be tongue in cheek, comes off as petulant, a little arrogant, and not particularly well reasoned. Assuming you mean to say that you are not progressing in your career because you're an introvert, I would suggest maybe actually talk with your higher ups and figure out why you have not progressed. Being introverted is not incompatible with leadership or with management or with any higher level position. An equally logical position on why an introvert hasn't advanced is because they don't fulfill the requirements of higher positions. There's nothing inate about being inroverted that makes you suddenly incapable of more responsibility. However, if what your employer is looking for is incongruent with what you're offering, that's not a failure of the employer to recognize your worth, it's an incongruency with your wants and their needs. This is true of any business for any person, regardless of personality. That is, if advancement in a company means more managerial work or team management and so on, you need to demonstrate you can provide these services; these aren't matters you can just say "yes I do this", it has to be demonstrated. Lumping failure to advance under "it's because I'm introverted" without any other justification seems to be more of an excuse.
