When you think of a leader, do you picture someone loud, brash, and commanding? Society often equates leadership with extroversion (especially in the West), but history tells a different story. In this episode, I'll challenge the myth that leaders have to be loud in order to be effective. I'll explore how introverted leadership works, particularly by studying the example of Dag Hammarskjöld, and why it’s often more impactful in the long run.
Key topics:
✅ Why society assumes leaders must be extroverted—and why that’s wrong
✅ How introverts like Dag Hammarskjöld shaped history through quiet leadership
✅ Why introverted leaders excel in high-stakes situations
✅ Practical strategies to lead authentically without faking extroversion
✅ How to find the right balance between speaking up and leading through action
If you've ever felt like you didn't fit the traditional leadership mold, this episode is for you. It’s time to embrace the power of quiet leadership and redefine what it means to lead.
