Last week, I wrote an article titled, “Who Speaks for the Quiet Ones In the Workplace”. In retrospect, it should have been preceded by this article, which explains what it means to be an introvert, how to recognise the trait, the difference between introversion and shyness, the challenges introverts face and how they can thrive in “a world that cannot stop talking”.
Expressiveness often commands attention. In classrooms, workplaces, family gatherings and politics, those who speak up are seen as smarter or leaders – though not all are either.
