Introverts can make great leaders (2018)
Introverts can make good leaders but too often these "introverts are great" articles are pointed to by those who just want an excuse for their poor social skills and lack of impact.<p>Case in point, my last boss was a visible, forceful woman who emphasized relationship building. It took me a year to learn she actually is heavily introverted and spends her weekends not talking to anyone. She was an effective introverted leader but she was also just an effective leader, period. It wouldn't occur to her to share this article.<p>On the other hand, plentny of low impact people believe they have great ideas but they aren't able to articulate them to get any traction or even feedback. Rather than learning how to handle these situations,  they chalk up their ineptitude to introversion. That's the kind of people I find takes comfort in these articles.
