What comes to mind when you think of an introverted leader? Someone who is shy, lacking self-confidence, and can’t make decisions? Well, today Jodi Lasky joins Helping Organisations Thrive to enlighten you to the ‘superpowers’ that introverted leaders possess. Jodi begins by sharing characteristics that are commonly seen in an introverted leader and explains how in order to be successful, some adaptation may be required.
