Summary
Most leadership books and management courses are designed for extraverts. In fact, many of the practices commonly regarded as “effective leadership” (complete accessibility, ease, and graciousness in social situations, the willingness to take calculated risks) come far more naturally to extraverts than to introverts. But well more than half of the people who choose an academic career are introverts. How can they be effective as leaders? This workshop explores how introverts can build on their strengths, compensate for their weaknesses, and balance their leadership teams so as to achieve more of their high-priority goals.
Learning Objectives:
- Build on their own strengths as introverts.
- Compensate for or overcome their weaknesses as introverts.
- Create a more balanced leadership team.
