The goal with this video is to keep expanding our teamwork and leadership conversation. I'd love to hear your journey in leadership and teamwork. Has it felt unique?

I enjoyed your take on introverted leaders. One of my previous careers definitely favored extroversion over introversion. As an extension, I found that extroverts filled management and supervisor roles to a far greater number than introverts did. The problem that often occurred because of that imbalance is that extroverted leaders tended to favor extroverted followers within a team, all but ignoring introverted team members who hadn't quite developed the interpersonal skills necessary to offset their more reserved personalities. The extroversion essentially perpetuated itself within the group dynamics. The work product of the introverts really had to shine for them to gain attention, far above similar achievements by the extroverted team members.

Thanks, Ryan. I appreciate your insights and observations. The more we shine light on perpetuating / unconscious biases - including but certainly not limited to introversion / extroversion - the better. So much of our development in these areas begins with new awareness. From there... change. Thanks again for sharing

Hey Tyler, great video! I stumbled upon it as a suggestion from watching one of your other videos about The Power of Teamwork (with the Patriots and All Black of NZ). I clicked on this one bc I feel that as I have gotten older, I have become more introverted in the conventional sense. I am a teacher and volleyball coach of a public high school. When I was a high school/college student, I was very outgoing, and wanted to be in the thick of things. Now at 43, that doesn't interest me. I am more interested in spending time with just a few close friends of my family. Going to a party or a bar has zero appeal to me. In most cases, I would rather listen than talk, but my profession requires me to be "on stage." I found your 3 types of Leading styles: from the front, middle or back to be very interesting and I wonder if a good leader could do all 3 dependent upon the situation, group, team, or organization they find themselves in? Just yesterday I was part of a testing committee where we analyzed existing test questions and created new ones if necessary. I found myself acting more as "quality control" instead of steering the boat. Yet that night, I was coaching my club volleyball team and was definitely leading from the front. Would you agree that a good leader is adaptable? Certainly, as you say in the end, it is all about the connections. As a 43 year old male who coaches high school girls volleyball, there is an obvious difference between them and me. The youth of today is different than my youth, but I think what is universal across all ages and cultures is showing someone that you care. Make them believe that you care and you are off to a good start in forming a connection. Keep it up! You have a new subscriber.

Thanks, Jason. I appreciate you sharing your perspective and experiences. Sounds like your self awareness had been developing at the same time as your leadership abilities!
