Embrace your leadership value as an introvert

Quiet Leader by Sissel Heiberg will help you enhance your skills as an introvert leader, offering you a strategy toolkit that will help you better understand your leadership values as an introvert.

You don't have to be an extrovert to be a good leader.

Unlike traditional leadership books, Quiet Leader does not suggest ways to "fix" your introversion to improve leadership; rather than shying away from it, it challenges you to embrace it, offering you the tools you need to make the most of your introvert skills and aptitudes.

Specifically, you will learn how to:

  • Understand the difference between introversion and extraversion, as well as common misconceptions
  • Use the toolkit to build your skills for calm, reflection, listening, self-awareness, observation, empathy, analytical thinking, preparation, and openness
  • Be an advocate for introverts to help overcome the extrovert bias in business and work

Nurture your introvert strengths and bring out the best in your colleagues and team members as a leader and manager.
