Thrilled to share a few strengths that quiet leaders like myself bring and our powerful impact provided! 💪 1️⃣ Deep Listening: Quiet individuals excel in active listening. By absorbing vital diverse perspectives, we foster a collaborative and inclusive environment. 2️⃣ Thoughtful Decision-Making: Our introspective nature allows for careful consideration and thoughtful decision-making, leading to strategic and well-planned actions. 3️⃣ Lead by Example: Quiet leaders inspire through actions rather than words, setting a strong example for their teams. This authenticity builds trust and loyalty. Of course, every leadership style encounters skepticism, mischaracterizations, or assumptions. Here are a couple of gems I’ve been told: 🤔 “You need to be more visible to be recognized and promoted. Speak up in meetings and share your accomplishments openly and often.” 🤔 “Your quiet demeanor makes you look like you lack confidence. Show more assertiveness to command attention.” 😤 ”In the business world, it's survival of the loudest. You won't go far if you don't start speaking up more.” However, history has shown many successful leaders who embraced their quiet demeanor. I choose to do the same as Abraham Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, Albert Einstein, Rosa Parks, and Mahatma Gandhi and continue to embrace my unique strengths to make business impact, thoughtful decision making, and most of all the support of my teams. 🚀 As a quiet leader, I’ve found a balance that aligns with my authentic style while addressing some of these concerns constructively. Emphasizing the quality of my contributions over quantity and showcasing my leadership through actions hopefully will continue to help overcome these perceptions. The other side though lands in the hands of my louder peers to listen more and celebrate diversity in leadership! 💪 #QuietLeadership #LeadershipStyle #EmbraceUniqueness #authenticitymatters
