How quiet people make a big impact. Credit to: Dr. Christian Poensgen Original post below 👇👇👇 "Quiet people have the loudest minds." (Stephen Hawking) 50% of the population identifies as introverted. This means introverts make up half of your workforce. Yet, their unique strengths often go unnoticed. Workplaces usually aren't set up to support introverts. ❗Unexpected meetings. ❗Constant interruptions. ❗Mandatory social events. ❗Open feedback sessions. ❗Crowded common areas. These all exclude introverts. They like being behind the scenes. But they do want to participate. So, how should we include them? By understanding their personality and creating spaces that take them into consideration. Here's how you can do it: ▹ Set up small group meetings. ▹ Seek actively for their opinions. ▹ Give them time to think and speak. ▹ Recognize their critical thinking skills. ▹ Allow them to share ideas through emails. ▹ Provide areas or times for them to focus or recharge. Don't be fooled by their silence. Introverts make a bigger impact than you think. You just need to create the space for them. ______________ Follow for more Useful Infographics

Spot on infographic. Introverts are excellent at active listening, which ironically makes them ideal for a customer-centric problem solving role. The side that no-one talks about though, is that back-to-back meetings are extremely mentally draining. Focusing on a careful balance can make an introvert a great company asset.
