  • Ignore the Extrovert Ideal

    Ignore the Extrovert Ideal

    Why does it make sense to ignore the extrovert ideal?

    We all live in a world wherein being extroverted and outspoken is encouraged. After reading this insight I would like to encourage you to ignore the extrovert ideal.

    If you are an introvert chances are that you would have heard it from your parents, peers or bosses that the north start of a personality is extroversion.

    Being outspoken, gregarious and extroverted has been preached by many of the leadership gurus.

    Susan Cain through this insight from Quiet has encouraged all introverts not to be bogged down by this belief. Being introverted comes with its own benefits which we should fully leverage.

    It has been proven by research that introverted people are more sensitive than their extroverted counterparts.

    Research has found that in comparison to introverts, extroverts are highly reward sensitive. This blog explores the reason for the same.

    To know the reason we need to know about the functioning of our brain.

    Extroverts are driven by the neurotransmitter dopamine wherein the brain’s pleasure center shows a high degree of stimulation when they sense a reward.

  • “Introverts” vs “Extroverts” as leaders – Choosing the right context

    Eric Barker makes a mention of the same in his book “Barking Up The Wrong Tree”.
