Eventit Pty Explores the Advantages of Having Introverted Personalities in Leadership

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, June 20, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Myers-Briggs and other personality indictor tests suggest that the workplace can often be divided between two different types of people - extroverts and introverts. Stereotypically, employees with introverted tendencies tend to recharge by spending time alone, and lose energy from being around large crowds for extensive periods of time. Extroverts on the other hand gain energy from others, and they recharge by being socially involved.

Eventit Pty believes that, as extroverts thrive in social interactions while introverts prefer independence and need time for contemplation, there are significant personality consequences in relation to leadership style and suitability. Until recently general consensus suggested that extraverts made the best leaders, but Eventit Pty argues that this is now up for debate, as introverted personalities can have many leadership advantages.

Indeed, it is not always the usually outgoing or outspoken extroverts who gain leadership positions in business, as introversion doesn't not necessarily equate to shyness or a disliking of social interaction. Eventit Pty states that although the louder charismatic personalities of extroverts have been seen as ideal leaders previously, there is a movement of more humbled leadership styles who give place more power and emphasis to the overall institution than to themselves. The firm believes that in the past it was common for businesses and employers to neglect the creative and managerial strengths of introverts by placing too much value on personality and team-orientated office environments - but maintain that this way of thinking is changing.

Eventit Pty believes that there is a newfound respect for introverted personalities, embodied by the rise of big-name leaders who exhibit these characteristics, such as US president Barack Obama, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer (Marketing Week, 2016).

Eventit Pty is fully committed to helping individuals become with the best leaders possible, using techniques and strategies that are best suited to their personality traits. One such trait is self-awareness. The firm suggests that regardless of personality type it is important be conscious of deficiencies, and of how others may perceive individuals. Self-awareness is crucial - not only for personal careers, but also for building a balanced workforce of varied personalities.
