Each week your host will explore a topic that challenges introverts, identify the root of any issues, and offer some potential options and solutions.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the things we work on as leaders is the art of elegantly flexing to meet a situation or person with whom we are interacting. And in this episode, Joanna unpacks the need to flex your style as a manager or leader while keeping an eye on your boundaries. Tune in to learn how to flex without going too far, and break the habit of resorting to pretending or colluding with the extraversion bias.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>KEY POINTS:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- There is no one size fit all approach to leadership</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Active versus passive listening - is one better than the other?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Listening to understand, rather than to respond</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- How to decide the conversations that truly matter</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- “A flex too far is not authentic”</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>PRODUCTS / RESOURCES:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Email your suggested topics for the I</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">ntroverted Leader Series</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to Joanna@flourishingintroverts.com</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What Type of Introvert are you?
