Team which comprises introvert employees gave better report as compare to a team which comprises extrovert employees. There is a study report of a professor from Warton name Grant Adam which reveals, introvert people provide better result as compare to extrovert despite they are not out spoken or lead the team as extrovert do. But introvert is a reserve personality who speaks only when it is required. They give chance to other to speak and then analysis all aspects after that they practise the best suggestion. That's why introvert team gave better result as compare to extrovert team.

 

Extrovert people, when they start speaking, they never stop their talk till conclusion has drawn. Thus, they ignore other's point of view. In this manner sometime employees feel that they are not a part of the discussion and they did not contribute in company progress. If you really would like to become a leader then it is important to hear your employee's suggestion as well. In this manner you not only get a better suggestion but employees would also feel, they contribute in discussion and company's progress.

 

Example from HBR (Harvard Business Review)

A CEO of fortune 500 company has decided not to speak in first 15 minutes of his meeting. He knows well about himself, once he starts speaking then other won't get a chance to speak so, he gives chance other to speak in first 15 minutes. It is a very good quality to let them speak first, because you will get chance to analysis other point of view and able to put your point of view in better manner in front of other. A good mixture of extrovert and introvert personality is called ambivert. Ambivert is an excellent quality to lead which makes you to become a successful leader.
