Creating introvert-Friendly Workplaces

People usually pay attention to whoever speaks the loudest, so most workplace cultures cater to extroverts. But just as there’s a business case as well as a moral case to pursue gender, racial, and ethnic diversity, it also makes sense to pursue cognitive diversity. In showing how to make workplaces introvert-friendly, Kahnweiler has created a valuable resource for any company that wants to increase its access to talent and broaden the range of view points it brings to key issues and challenges.

Introverts are critical to an organization’s success. To date, there hasn’t been a ‘playbook’ to unlock the superpowers of the introvert at work. Without unlocking the introverted voice, companies cannot achieve their full potential. Breaking down how to assess your current culture and how to hire, lead, and communicate in a world with both extroverts and introverts while getting the best out of both styles–this is the magic within this book.”
