The easiest way to find out about the social and introvert employee at work is to have a meeting for each department and say this phrase: I want each of you to talk a little about himself. This sentence is terrifying for the introverts and a joy for the social, and this talk does not mean that either is wrong, these differences in personalities no more, not social smarter than the introverts nor the latter better than the first.
Introversion does not always mean unity, and the openness of a person does not necessarily reflect ego. If you prefer one-to-one dialogue rather than group discussion, you want to avoid social events on the premises or prefer to think before making a decision, you are often introverted. If you do the opposite of the paragraph you are open or social.
There is no longer fully introverted or fully socialized. Today there is a level playing field, a person you may find living and eating alone but extremely social.
The world we know is dominated by social people, and we speak here on a global scale. If you look at the governments of the world and the headquarters of companies and institutions, you will find leadership positions full of socialists, and this means that introverts are a misunderstanding characteristic.
The forgotten truth is that the world is becoming bleak without an introverted mind, contemplate with me: who came up with the theory of gravity and the theory of relativism is an introvert, which wrote the novel of Harry Potter an introvert, and the inventor of the Internet giant «Google» is also an introvert.
You cannot determine how socially or introverted a person is, in practice, each of us shy to a certain degree, even the most open is ashamed to reveal certain things, but we all come out of our shell when we feel comfortable with certain people or if we are comfortable with the environment in which we are.
Sometimes introverts try to hide this feature in their workplaces because they think they will adapt better, which is wrong. The best ways to coexist between the two types are:
Socialists should give their introverted colleagues a chance to prepare for what they want to say or discuss. This is their nature because they need calm to get their ideas together.
The socialist must learn the virtue of silence and not interrupt his introverted colleague when he stops talking for a while, and let him talk until he finishes putting forward his whole idea. Do not rush to talk just because you want to prove you are, this is usually annoying.
Introverts should stop writing long emails and shorten them as points of face-to-face communication with the person in question.
Usually, introverts lose the opportunity to promote in favor of social people but are less efficient because the general perception is that the social is better at managing people, but studies have shown that the ability of the socialist / open-minded to make decisions, most of them have bad results, because they are not considered contrary to the careful introverted in his decisions.
The world needs balance, social charisma and the power of its communication is indispensable, but introverts do not have to be because their creativity comes from calm.
A US study of 4,000 executives has shown that introverts have outperformed socialists because of their focus on productivity and quality of work, not ambition. The introverts also focused on building fruitful relationships with each employee rather than communicating with everyone, generating high trust between staff and their introverts.
Introversion does not always mean unity, and the openness of a person does not necessarily reflect ego.
