I challenge the assumption that management and leadership require extroversion. If interacting with people drains your energy levels, you can find ways to balance your energy throughout the day and week. I’m not saying it’ll be easy or always 100% achievable, but it’s doable and introverts can thrive in these positions. God help us if they can’t lol.
- dbKooper 5y agoYes, I have heard that extroversion isn't necessary at leadership but I see it like a sales-man job to convince every stake-holder ( maybe another assumption ) Our mind and brain is a habit and pattern machines which doesn't let us change so easily. right? But i guess i will have to get there slowly.
- auslegung 5y agoI'm not saying you need to become extroverted. "Introverts tend to feel drained after socializing and regain their energy by spending time alone. This is largely because introverts’ brains respond to dopamine differently than extroverts’ brains"[0]. Introvert is different than being shy. If your brain responds to dopamine differently than an extroverted person's, then you can't change this. But I'm not suggesting you change, I'm suggesting that you learn how to balance your energy throughout the day. If socializing drains you, and being alone recharges you, you'll need to schedule your day around that. And you'll need to find a manager position that will allow you to do that.
