- xyzelement 5y agoI am? I am citing a deep introvert who richly invested in developing that skill. You make it sound like introversion is a disability rather than a default orientation.
- plutonorm 5y agoNo, you are saying that you cannot be an effective leader using an introverted style. It is not necessary to run around hustling relationships in an extravert way in order to be effective. An introvert leader at their peak looks like the patrician from Terry Pratchet, Havelock Vetinari. He doesn't spin around burning energy building countless relationships, but understand the motion of people well enough to influence with out really being seen to influence. Subtle control through deep understanding rather sheer force of will.
- void_mint 5y ago> One on one relationship building is something that introverts excel at But...didn't you also just do the same thing? People are good at things they try to be good at. Being an introvert has nothing to do with that, nor does extroversion. Meaning, people that prioritize interpersonal skill and relationship building have the potential to become good leaders, regardless of their particular alignment.
