You've always been the quiet one in the boardroom, haven't you? While your extroverted colleagues seem to efficiently command attention and dominate discussions, you often find yourself struggling to make your voice heard.
It's not that you lack ideas or insights - in fact, your thoughtful nature allows you to observe nuances and consider perspectives that others might overlook.

Despite the prevailing belief that extroversion is a prerequisite for effective leadership, a study conducted by Adam Grant at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School found that introverted leaders often outperform their extroverted counterparts in certain situations. When leading proactive teams, introverted leaders' tendency to listen, consider others' ideas, and provide space for autonomy can result in higher group performance.
