Attendees will learn how to tailor leadership approaches to maximize the contributions of introverts, promote collaboration, and enhance overall project success.
An introvert is a person whose behavior is typically characterized by a preference for quiet, solitary environments and activities. Introverts often feel more energized by spending time alone or in small, intimate groups rather than in large social settings. They tend to be reflective, thoughtful, and inward-focused, often drawing strength and creativity from introspection. While they may enjoy social interaction, introverts typically prefer deep, meaningful conversations over surface-level interactions and may need more time to recharge after socializing. Their behavior is often associated with being reserved, deliberate, and focused on internal thoughts and emotions.
