Introverts and extroverts work differently. Their environment plays an important role in how they show up at work.

Most companies don’t really think about whether their workplace and culture are fit to cater to both extroverts and introverts. Mainstream company work culture tends to value extroversion over introversion. And this undermines the strengths of the quiet ones.

What if they have more to offer, but it doesn’t get into the table because leaders and employees don’t really understand how their introvert people operate?
