What do Bill Gates, Abraham Lincoln, and Eleanor Roosevelt have in common?
, opened up about an epiphany she had during her years as a corporate lawyer: Introversion is a superpower. Cain dug into research and learned that introverts, though often dismissed as passive, can be powerful leaders, as demonstrated by the likes of Abraham Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Bill Gates. In this episode of How To!, Cain shares how introverts can harness their talents to thrive in the workplace and beyond—starting with mastering small talk.
Introversion is about the preference for environments that are more mellow, to put it in really colloquial terms. There’s fewer stimuli bombarding you at any one time, which is why you often hear people say, “How do you feel after you’ve been at a party for a couple of hours?” For an extrovert, it’s as if they have an internal battery that’s getting charged by that experience and so they’re now really revved up because they’re getting energy.
There is an interesting study that found that in a work hierarchy, people are very comfortable when their peers reveal vulnerabilities about themselves, but they become less comfortable when people who are senior in the hierarchy do it. But, there’s still a whole world that you could talk about within your own life that doesn’t get into any kind of danger zone.
OK, so to be a great leader, you don’t have to adopt a new outgoing personality or pretend to be an extrovert. But we’ve all been in social situations where we have to make small talk—maybe you’re alone at a conference or trying to mingle at a spouse’s work party. How do you make the conversations more enjoyable for both you and everyone else?
