Up to 50% of people are introverts, and yet traditional leadership books focus on how to “fix” introversion so you can be a better leader. But what if being quiet made you a better leader?
Rather than changing who you are, use your strengths as an introvert to bring out the best in colleagues and team members.
This talk is part of women's networking business event for female professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners.
💁🏻♀️ You don’t have to be loud to be a good leader and we are excited this will be an opportunity to meet the author @SisselHeiberg of 'Quiet Leadership'.
