We live in an age when loud and forceful personalities thrust themselves into the spotlight. As many as one third of us are introverts, however, and are often seen as the underdogs. And yet, introverts have given us the theory of relativity, Van Gogh’s sunflowers and the Apple computer. Writer Susan Cain flies in from her home in the US to lead one of a series of festival events on leadership. She argues that the introverted quiet leader has much to offer.
Cain, who has been a negotiation consultant to many major corporations, shows how the brain chemistry of introverts and extroverts differs. And she offers introverts some tools to help them gain from introspection in their personal and professional lives.
