Thanks for the great post John and your comments Mary! So many great quotes here:"As leaders, we need to consider this aspect of workplace collaboration intentionally and with a view to making sure that everyone on our teams has knowledge of their own preferences, others’ perceptions, and how to make all this work for us, rather than against us." Mary - I love that you still identify as an introvert because if you think you are, you are, right? I think that it is about what behaviors work for us and what don't as leaders. Most people are not extremely introverted or extroverted but show a slight preference one way or the other. It seems to be more about needing your quiet time and recharging space. Wonder if that is true for you - that it is a "must have."Thanks for weighing in - Book launch is tomorrow so we are looking forward to even more dialogue here and around the web! Thanks for starting it off so provocatively and Happy Birthday!
