Growing up, introverts like me were often told that we needed to open up and be more outgoing. Being an introvert was seen as a problem. Now, introversion isn’t seen as a disorder, but as a strength. Dr. Mike Bechtle writes about how introverts can be able to be active in the work force without having to put on a facade and pretend to be like everyone else. The traits that introverts have are not weaknesses and can be utilized to help both the individual and company.<\/p>
The tips are fairly simple, though it may be difficult to put them into action depending on the work environment. It has gotten better, but there is still a negative view of being an introvert in many areas. The book is aimed at people who work in what I would call a corporate job. It talks about participating in meetings and presentations. However, there are tips that can be used in different settings. It may have been outside of his scope, but I would like to have seen some information about introverts working in smaller businesses and non-corporate jobs. Other than that, I think the book has a lot of useful information about learning to use your traits and skills to be successful in work.<\/p>
I received a free ARC of the book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
