Reply To: The perks of leading as an introvert – 2 strengths I harness

Thanks, Goksen, as an extrovert, I’ve found my leadership strengths often come from energy, openness, and connection. I naturally thrive in interactions—brainstorming, team discussions, quick stand-ups—and that energy can set the tone for the group. Because I process things while talking, I tend to be transparent and approachable, which builds trust quickly. I also enjoy building broad networks, often bringing in fresh perspectives and opportunities for the team. Of course, I’ve had to learn balance—sometimes slowing down to make space for quieter voices—but over time I’ve realised leadership isn’t about being extrovert or introvert, it’s about using your natural tendencies wisely for the team’s benefit.
