Leadership Skills for Supervisors: Communication, Coaching and Conflict

Another powerful aspect to understanding yourself and others is to recognize whether you are an introvert or an extrovert. We often talk about introversion and extroversion in terms of how comfortable we are being around other people. Extroverts appear comfortable socially, can enter conversations easily, and are considered outgoing. Introverts are seen as being less open, quiet, and often preferring their own company over being social. However, there are other considerations to introversion and extroversion, like where we get our energy from. To add some complexity, there are lots of introverts who act like extroverts in order to collaborate, converse, and work or play in social situations.
