Episode 49: The 8 Biggest Strengths Of The Introverted Leader

I want you to take a moment and notice the title of this week’s episode. The title is NOT: “5 Strategies To Be More Extroverted As An Introverted Leader” The title is NOT: “4 Ways You Can Come Out Of Your Shell As An Introverted Leader” If you are an introvert, you do not need to “be fixed”. You do not need to “overcome” being an introvert. You don’t need to “come out of your shell” to successfully lead your school. I’ve worked with many introverted leaders over the years and most of them think that they need to CHANGE or GET BETTER in some way to be a better leader. I feel strongly that introverted leaders bring their own unique strengths to the table, and their success most often comes from playing to those strengths. On today’s episode of The Private School Leader Podcast, we are going to discuss The 8 Biggest Strengths Of The Introverted Leader. I know that you are super busy, so be sure to listen while you are doing something else. I hope that you will get value from this episode as you serve and lead your school community.
