Introverts/Ambiverts/Extroverts As Excellent Leaders Our traditional view has been that virtually all leaders are extroverts. Based on 300+ interviews with C Suite Executives (100+ being CEOs) we have found that about half are introverts and half are extroverts, similar to the normal population of the U.S. and Canada. This was a considerable surprise. Not everyone is an extreme introvert or extrovert-the distribution is a bell curve, so most people are just a bit introverted or bit extroverted-and introverts make great executives, as well.In this presentation, Karl will talk about the many strengths (and a few weaknesses) of Introverts, Ambiverts, and Extroverts and how they might become even better leaders. He will discuss how to effectively work with each type, how to be a better manager for them, and how to work more effectively for them, if they are your boss.

NextGen Project Risk Management Risk and uncertainty are inherent to projects. They influence every major project decision and eventual outcome.
