I just started reading the book, "Quiet", by Susan Cain. It's wonderful.
Ben read it about a year ago after I stumbled across a 'pinned' quote by Susan Cain. After some googling, we ended up watching a TED talk on introverts, presented by Cain. Everyone should watch it! We were hooked and amazed by her insight and really life-changing ideas about introverts.
I am dying to write more of my thoughts (and I have a ton of them!) but I'm going to share my absolute favorite part so far -- "The Myth of Charismatic Leadership". . .
"Indeed, according to a famous study by the influential management theorist Jim Collins, many of the best-performing companies of the late twentieth century were run by what he calls "Level 5 Leaders." These exceptional CEOs were known not for their flash or charisma but for extreme humility coupled with intense professional will. . . "
. . . extreme humility
. . . intense professional will
