INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT? WHO SHOULD BE OUR LEADER?

·         As the world approaches to an era of derision, certain need expanse the land of people; the need of a leader that can put an end to the dismayed minds of people. But the question that arises is,

          “Should our leader be an introvert or an extrovert?”

When it comes to introverts being our leaders, there is a common pattern in history. Einstein, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Abraham Lincoln were all introverts and there is no need to mention the perks of their alpha abilities. We have also experienced some great extroverts as our leaders, but according to the stats of progress, introverts make better leaders.

A leader should be a good listener. Introverts are proven to be non social and mostly quiet but they have proven to be better listeners than extroverts. Psychologist Laurie Helgoe states in Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength,

"An introvert who sits back in a meeting, taking on the arguments, dreamily reflecting on the bigger picture, may be seen as not contributing—that is, until he works out the solution that all the contributors missed." Sometimes feeling ecstasy in your own silence can show you the right path.

A leader should not wear their heart on their sleeve. Introverts are reserve while extroverts tend to be too open with others which makes them an easy target. A leader should be open to suggestions, but others' opinions should not get to him and affect his judgment easily as that shoes weakness of character

In gatherings, a leader should be reserved. A leader should have a professional attitude. Apparently introverts prove to be more professional than extroverts. As Cain says, 

"introverts prefer to connect one-on-one and around an issue they find important while an extrovert might attend an event and end up chatting with everyone."
