I am an introvert and I manage a group of 22 employees in my now 8 year company. I have learned that the best way to connect with people is not to take myself too seriously. Also, make their time worthwhile when talking to them, don't ever over-promise and really, genuinely care about what they say to you.

- MikeHo 14y agoEgo is often mixed up with self confidence, I agree that people should not themselves too seriously and to realize that in the grand scheme of things, we are all so insignificant individually. Being a good listener is so essential in communication - We've all been on the other side of feeling disregarded in a conversation because of a distraction, text, time, wandering minds -- it's disrespectful and works in negative ways.

- talGX 14y agoI'm an introvert as well and I found out that it can be an advantage. Most startup employees (especially developers) are introverts as well and find it much easier to relate to someone like them. Most people are not looking for the typical 'manager' type.
