Executive Presence for Introverts
Manage episode 489197111 series 3550467
It’s easy to think a strong executive presence requires an outgoing, gregarious personality.
Not so, suggest Daniel and Peter in today’s episode.
Introverts can “convey that sense of credibility and to be seen as influential, to be seen as a leader” just as well as extroverts, says Daniel.
In this episode, Daniel and Peter explore the advantages and strengths introverted leaders can bring to their positions and offer some suggestions for developing skills to boost their executive presence.
Tune in to learn:
- Two “superpowers” introverts bring to leadership positions
- One important caution for introverted leaders
- Why introverted leaders often present as more authentic
Being a successful introverted leader is “less about changing who you are and more about highlighting what you’re bringing,” says Peter. Join Daniel and Peter to explore how introverted leaders can be exactly the type of leader any organization needs.
