Introvert Leaders That Run The World: 16 Reasons Why Introvert People Lead in Business, Politics, Arts, Science & Technology (Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, ... quiet (Motivation, excellence, Success)

Right from the social network we’re on – Facebook – to the simplest searches on the net – Google – and from the most coveted films – Jurassic Park – to the most flamboyant singers – Beyoncé and Lady Gaga -- we are living in a world that seems to be dominated by introverts.
Introverts since ages have been referred by different names: black-sheep, snobs, reserved, lunatic etc. They have been referred to as someone needed to be treated and reformed to get better integrated into society. The fact that almost a third to half of the human population have been introverts is still not okay by some of the proponents of sociability that it is also a personality trait and not a ‘disease’ that needs to be treated.
Despite classifying introversion as a personality type by psychologists and scientists a century ago – most notably Carl Jung& Sigmund Freud – introversion has still not been accepted in the modern societies as an acceptable behavior – always needed to be addressed and rectified as if it’s a mental disorder; rather it’s a mental order which is distinct.
It is only in the last two decades or so that the hidden qualities of introverts have flourished, so much so that the tech industry, scientific community and art world has been dominated by introverts. Some people go to suggest even further that introversion has found its voice primarily because of the internet revolution; where ‘socially awkward’ people could make their voice heard without being in front of actual people.
It’s not surprising though that the major percent of the business giants in the technology arena are introverts themselves. And what an impact did they have on not just the tech industry, but on each one of us.
Is the world just rising to the fact that it is okay for people to be quiet and unassuming and shunning others or is the pressure on introverts still on to conform to the social mores dictated by the more dominant ‘extroverted’ world that we inhabit.
A simple research done online would reveal that introverts have always been a part of any path-breaking discovery, creation or invention. This raises many questions as to why is it that introverts are subjected to such disapproving labels as if they’re social misfits. This pin-pointing and forcibly fitting into the norm has done more harm than good, with the natural consequence being that introverted people will be repelled more forcefully to go into their own shell or solitary way of living, to find more assurance and self-worth.
What is also astounding is that the secret to tapping into an introverts’ potential is to not force him or her to conform to a more acceptable form of a behavior, but rather to let them be on their own; because if they feel the need, they themselves will come out with a forceful vengeance and rebel and appear more extroverted and outgoing than the general populace.
This has been amply demonstrated by many a businessmen, entrepreneurs, artists, scientists and everyday normal people.
What has also come out of the plethora of studies is a pattern of behaviour of people having an introverted disposition who have scaled heights unimaginable all due to their fierce adherence of ‘introverted strengths’
What this book will bring is a very short and crisp ‘reasons’ for why introverts are nearly at the helm of every trailblazing achievement.
