Lena: I was just thinking about how we always picture a leader as the person standing on a table with a megaphone, but did you know that roughly 40% of executives are actually introverts?
Miles: It’s wild, right? We’re so conditioned to believe you have to be the loudest person in the room to get results. But research actually shows that in dynamic environments with proactive teams, introverted leaders can outperform extroverts by 14% in weekly profits.
