Could introversion be your influence super power?
Insight has value when it changes something. To bring about important change, individual decision-makers have to be influenced by Insight. And the reality is that it's the time spent building trust face to face, really talking to the rest of the business, that has the most persuasive impact.
This in itself can pose a challenge for the introverts amongst us. And due to the nature of our work there are proportionally more of us in the Insight profession than that of the general population.
In this guide we set out some of the behavioural strengths of introverts and how these can be deployed in an Insight setting. You will also find practical tips for handling networking and public speaking occasions more confidently and effectively. Finally, we give some guidance for managers of introverts.
