The Quiet Influence of Introverted Leaders with Jennifer Kahnweiler

March 11, 2013 by Beth Buelow 5 Comments

Jennifer-with-Gray-Jacket-1Over the past few years, the conversation about what it means to be a leader has expanded to include traits we might not normally associate with traditional leadership. People tend to see a natural leader as someone with charisma and an outgoing, social energy. And yet, more is being written about the style of leadership that is more behind the scenes, observant and reflective. This has turned our attention to the introverted leader, the one who radiates a confidence that comes from within.

book-cover-introverted-leaderTo learn more about how introvert strengths contribute to effective leadership, I’m joined by Jennifer B. Kahnweiler, Ph.D., Certified Speaking Professional. Her bestselling book The Introverted Leader: Building on Your Quiet Strength has achieved widespread appeal and has been translated into multiple languages.

We discuss what traits she has found make introverts powerful leaders, as well as what extroverts need to understand most about introverts (and vice versa) and what to do when your boss tells you “you need to speak up more.”

Book-Cover-Quiet-InfluenceHer latest book, Quiet Influence: The Introvert’s Guide to Making A Difference, will be released on April 15, 2013, and is currently available for pre-sale on Amazon.com and Barnes&Noble.com.

      Helen Calm Helen, I agree – we need to take the amount of quiet time we *think* we need, then double it – then, we’ll be in good shape 😉
