> Even if you're introverted, you have the same responsibility as everyone else to communicate in order to get things done. That goes both ways - if you're dealing with an introvert it might benefit you to communicate in a different style and with a different frequency. Some management books even provide models for quick and dirty social analysis so that people can do so. The model I've found most immediately applicable is: Extroverted | Person focused ----- Task focused | Introverted You can pick up on that sort of thing fairly easily, when people speak how loudly do they speak - do they project their voice? When they talk do they gesture a lot with their hands? When they talk is about things or people? Does their tone of voice alter when they talk about different areas - do the volunteer information as readily about those things, ask the same number of relevant questions?
