Quiet Leader: What you can learn from the power of introverts (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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 an introvert made you a better leader? Introverts are naturally better listeners, more receptive to ideas, and better able to make employees feel motivated and valued to elevate their performance.

Building on research and interviews by the author, each chapter focuses on an introvert strength, explaining why it is a valuable leadership trait and includes a toolkit with strategies and ideas. Written for both introverts and extroverts, this book helps you to develop, build and use these skills more in the workplace.

Be authentic to your true self and make the most of the quiet leader's strengths to be at the top of your game.

"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

"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.

Autorenporträt

Sissel Heiberg is an introverted business leader with almost 20 years of governance experience in the extrovert-dominated field of investment banking. In her career, she has had a wide range of professional experiences that have led her to reflect on her own journey as a business leader and the existing leadership stereotypes.

She would like to use her background to provide a new perspective to help other introverted leaders and expand the conversation on what good leadership looks like.
