Showing results for "The Quiet and the Loud" in Career Success

One third to one half of Americans are introverts in a culture that celebrates - even enforces - an ideal of extroversion and a cult of personality. Political leaders are charismatic, celebrities bask in the spotlight, and authority figures are assertive. It is no surprise that a quiet revolution has begun to emerge among the invisible half of the population, asserting that they are just as powerful in their own unique ways. The Irresistible Introvert embodies the spirit of this revival and breaks down the myth that charisma is reserved for extroverts only.

Rather than asking aspiring quiet leaders to "fake it" or pretend to be something they aren't, Quiet Leader, Loud Results provides real-world tested suggestions, advice, and strategies that will help listeners become dynamic leaders on their own terms and drive outcomes in their organizations. This book shares real stories from quiet leaders who have navigated the difficulties of having a quieter personality, succeeding both for themselves and their organizations. In an increasingly complex world where leaders are in short supply, leaders of all personality types are needed.

In Ana Visneski's candid snarky guide, "F*ck it, Watch this: Saying the Quiet Parts Out Loud," she throws traditional leadership wisdom overboard like a soggy biscuit at a pirate tea party. Forget stuffy boardroom jargon and "rah-rah" motivational speeches—Coast Guard veteran (tech executive and company founder) Visneski dives straight into the tumultuous waters of playing the career game your own way. From looking at the whole ocean to wearing velvet leisure suits in hurricanes, being a Coastie teaches you just as much (if not more) about leadership than any fancy MBA program.
