Improving Self-Perception and Self-Awareness

• developing an understanding of introversion, perhaps through taking MBTI tests and, importantly, learning what the outcomes mean
  
  
• valuing and embracing introversion, not fighting it
  
  
• talking about introversion with peers can build understanding and contributes to better working relationships
  
  
• learning how to lead as an introvert rather than trying hard to be an extrovert
  
  
• behaving more consistently and authentically to build the trust of colleagues and team members
  
  
• learning how introversion affects your approach to your different job roles
  
  
• recognising the value of introverted behaviours
  
  
• knowing that once introverted leaders understand their introversion and work with it, rather than against it, their confidence tends to improve
  
  
• some introverted leaders choose to work in smaller organisations or smaller teams to have a greater chance of being heard especially early in their career.
