Misconceptions about introverted leaders: how quiet personality types influence the workplace
by Hevvon A. Barnes; Susan M. Stewart
International Journal of Management Development (IJMD), Vol. 2, No. 3, 2022

Abstract: This literature review explores the role of personality types in the workplace with a specific focus on the misconceptions surrounding introverted leaders. It includes a summary of the traits and qualities that comprise an effective leader and compares introverts and extroverts in leadership roles. It also addresses how organisations can utilise hiring practices and leadership development processes to be more inclusive of introverts when identifying prospective and emerging leaders. By addressing misconceptions about introverted leaders, organisations can better understand their strengths, talents, perspectives, and values. Future research ideas are presented, and implications for workplace interventions are discussed.
