A note about extroverts...

Introversion is not inherently better or worse than

extroversion

Both temperaments are needed for an

organization to be successful

Extroverts tend to be more comfortable meeting

new people, expressing their ideas verbally, and

multi-tasking

Extroverts tend to work with what is

Introverts tend to ask what if
