A combination of introverted and extroverted traits helps leaders strike the right balance

Published: 30 April 2024

Extroverted people often take naturally to leadership roles – but they don’t always do enough listening. Introverted leaders may listen more, but sometimes lack the ability to inspire. A combination of the two personality types could yield the best results, according to Associate Professor Karl Moore. β€œThe downside of extroverted leaders is that they often like to talk more than listen,” says Moore in an article in Scientific American. β€œIntroverted managers attend more to their employees and give them more room for their own successes. Ambiverts--who draw on both ends of the spectrum--could ideally do both.”
