Have you ever been in a team setting where the differences between introverted and extroverted working styles was clear. What were the benefits and challenges of the styles?
-No.
How do you perceive the strengths and weaknesses of introverts? How do you perceive the strengths and weaknesses of extroverts?
-strengths of introverts lies in revelations and insights that come from deep thinking, reflection, and contemplation that result from solitude and time outside of the influence from others, which can be biased, and persuasive for the group and collective in general based on natural human tendencies. These insights have the potential to contribute to innovations and socio-cultural influences that potentially contribute to the growth and progress/evolution of consciousness.
-weaknesses are that they are less able to share these ideas and insights because of social anxiety, shyness, or other preferred ways of being that don't involve extroverts as much, which can lessen the impact of great thinking in our world.
How can you leverage the strengths of introverts and extroverts in your future projects and future career?
-absolutely.
Do you think our current approaches to group activities at Turing are sufficiently accommodating to introverted personalities? Reflect on how we could reshape team and group activities (pairings, team retros, cohort retros) to create an environment in which introverts’ and extroverts strengths are equally supported.
-Yes
