Introverts vs Extroverts

Managing the Differences

Managing Introverts and Extroverts
Follow Express Requests on Twitter! Tell us what you think about the Express Request service in four quick questions. Extroverts and introverts each bring their own contributions to the workforce. It’s important that managers understand and accommodate their employees’ different approaches so that they can help all employees do their best work. “We all tend to work better with those that have a more similar personality to our own,” said Doug Upchurch, global learning innovation strategist at Insights. The company, with headquarters in Dundee, Scotland and Austin, is a provider of people development programs. “But it’s just as important to be able to work well with someone who is less similar to you.” The question, he added, is, “How can leaders help their team [members] advance their personal development to make sure everyone is working well together?” Performance and retention issues can develop when managers don’t value employees whose work style is different than their own. In meetings, for example, extroverts tend to think aloud while introverts tend to prefer to quietly work through a problem or idea before voicing it. This can make extroverted employees appear more engaged or enthusiastic about a project.
