Quiet
Leadership
When
talking about personalities Introverts are considered antisocial and quiet
people who don’t like to talk. So, are they really can be a leader ?. The
answer is yes. They can.
Introverts
aren't anti-social and they are like to talk. They only need alone time to
recharge their energy because introverts are drain energy with social
interaction. Introversion is a gift when you accept your true nature and honor
yourself. If you are an Introvert like me don’t ever think being an Introvert is
something that you need to be cured.
“Figure out what
you are meant to contribute to the world and make sure you contribute it. If
this requires public speaking or networking or other activities that make you
uncomfortable do them anyway. But accept that they’re difficult. get the
training you need to make them easier, and reward yourself when you’re done”
Susan Cain. author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a
World That Can’t Stop Talking
Throughout
the history and present, many great leaders are introverts. Abraham Lincon, Eleanor
Roosevelt, Albert Einstein, Rosa Parks, Mahatma Gandhi.In the business world
Bill Gates, Elone Mask,M.Zuckerberg and so on.All Introverts, but great
leaders.
Matter
of fact, Why Introverts make great leaders. Introverts tend to be analytical.
By nature, they are calm and collected, good decision-makers. great listeners
and tend to be creative. They are focusing on the depth of the situation, not
superficiality. Embrace solitude resists self-defeating impulses. like Albert
Einstein once said,
“It’s not that I’m
so smart, It’s that I stay with problems longer”.
Introversion
is not a choice. If you’re one of them believe yourself. Look for the
opportunities, platforms where you can put yourself forward. share your
knowledge and views. That may involve writing a weekly blog post or making a
YouTube channel that can reaches out worldwide. Take opportunity of public
speaking. Some
of the best public speakers of the past
and present are introverts leaders – Mahatma Ghandi, Winston Churchill,
President Barack Obama to name a few. If
you’re afraid of public speaking or networking, then you should join
Toastmasters and learn to become more comfortable with it.
“In a gentle way you can shake the world.”
-Mahatma Gandhi
