You don’t have to be loud to be a good leader.
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? Introverts are naturally better listeners, more receptive to ideas, and better able to make employees feel motivated and valued so they perform better.
This book will help all introverts in business understand the value they add, help them become better leaders, and how to understand and overcome the extrovert bias they might encounter. Rather than changing your personality, Quiet Leader will help you use your strengths as an introvert to bring out the best in colleagues and team members, and give everyone - extroverts included - a better understanding of how to become better leaders themselves. With tangible examples and new ideas, you’ll find ways to enhance your introvert skills by adopting the strategies and tools provided.
"An invaluable read for introverts and extroverts alike, challenging stereotypes and illuminating the profound impact of the quiet leader."Elizabeth Honer, former CEO of a UK central government agency
"Unique insights into the value introverts bring to leadership roles. A must-read for contemporary leadership theorists." Peter M. Jones, former CEO of the Institute of Internal Auditors Australia
“A fantastic and easy-to-read research-based book which gives both introverts and extroverts useful tools, and helps an introvert like myself to see that being an introvert is a strength. This book should be part of the national curriculum! Any organisation wanting to optimise employee performance should make this book part of their internal training." Ellen Brataas, CEO Institute of Internal Auditors Norway.
“I’m usually the loudest person in the room. This book made me want to be the quietest.” Jill McCullough, Personal impact coach working with CEOs and multinationals
