Interview with Gary Sullivan You have to be extroverted to be a leader.  Only if you have employees are you a leader. Either you have it or you don't. Leaders have a natural gift, you can't learn it. Those are three typical myths about leaders. In today's episode, I talk with Gary about these three false beliefs. We point out why they're false and give some counterexamples. We also discuss why they limit your development and make you a victim, so to speak. As statisticians, we are often introverted. We can use this to our advantage. We can take leadership, in our cross functional teams. And we can learn these leadership skills as well. All good leaders are always learning.
