Introverts and Extroverts: Introduction to Introverts and Extroverts

Who's an extrovert? Who's an introvert? What's the difference? And why does this matter to me? This concept of introversion and extroversion was popularized by Carl Jung, but has gained new movement by Susan Cain through her Ted Talk "The Power of Introverts," and her book. Workplaces are reconsidering how they manage employees and meetings. Introverts are rallying to remind society that they bring value and that they have good ideas. As a result, extroverts are defending themselves in an effort to remind us that they're not just jokesters and socializers. Some interesting concepts have come from these discussions. In this series, we will summarize some of what's being said, and help you navigate some practices that will make your teams more productive.
