At a recent professional military education course, a senior leader called on two officers from the gathered crowd and proceeded to attempt to demonstrate how extroverts made better officers than introverts. To the credit of the introvert, they refused to let the conversation move in only one direction and countered the senior officer's initial argument regarding their perception of extrovert dominance in the field of military leadership.
This article addresses the introvert stereotype and makes a convincing argument for leaders and managers to overcome any biases they might have regarding these personality traits.
Looking to hear from the GATCT crowd about their approaches to talent management regarding introverts and extroverts.
