Various
studies have confirmed that the majority of professionals who occupy positions
of leadership are characterized by his outgoing personality. But this feature,
as The Sidney Morning Herald newspaper, echoes does not mean that they are
better managers than people with a more introverted personality.
A
study published by Adam M. Grant, Francesca Gino and David A. Hofmann in
Harvard Business Review demolished the myth that extroverts are better leaders
than introverts, and after years of academic research, proved that they are
globally as good as heads. And even in certain situations, introverts can become
better managers.
The
work, entitled "The hidden advantages of quiet bosses", confirms
that outgoing heads have many points in favor, but also tend to be the center
of attention and take control in the discussions. However, in an unpredictable
environment, introverts are often most effective leaders, especially when workers
are proactive and provide ideas to improve business. This behavior can make
outgoing leaders feel threatened, whereas introverts tend to listen more
carefully and show a greater receptivity to suggestions, what makes them best
team leaders.
In
research, the authors questionnaires sent to managers and employees of 130
franchises of a US Home pizza delivery company. Asked the heads that are auto
valued in terms of extraversion and told workers that they calculate the
frequency with which they and their colleagues were trying to carry out
improved procedures. The results showed that, in companies where employees were
not very proactive, outgoing leadership was associated with benefits 16% higher
than the average, but in those franchises in which workers contributed ideas,
the outgoing leadership resulted in minor benefits in 14% of the average.
