Summary

You don't have be an extrovert—or pretend to be one—to succeed: “Finally, a book that recognizes the immense value that introverts bring to the workplace.” —Daniel H. Pink, New York Times-bestselling author of The Power of Regret

Business author and international speaker Jennifer Kahnweiler points to Mark Zuckerberg, Arianna Huffington, and Warren Buffett as prime examples of self-identified introverts who have done quite well for themselves. In this new, expanded edition of her pioneering book, she lays out a well-tested four-step strategy introverts can use to build on their quiet strength and make it a source of great power.

The book also includes fresh information on:

• The unique challenges faced by introverted women
• How leaders can shape a more introvert-friendly workplace
• Customized hiring and coaching strategies for introverts
• The positive correlation between introverted leadership and company performance
