1.0 CPE SUSAN CAIN Author, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking

Quiet: Harnessing the Strengths of Introverts to Change How We Work, Lead, and Innovate Did you know that introverted leaders often deliver better results than extroverts? That the most innovative thinking happens alone, and not in teams? In this presentation, Susan Cain shows that introverts think and work in ways that are crucial to the survival of today’s organizations and how to structure organizations so that the best ideas dominate, rather than those of only the most vocal people. Drawing on her original research and the latest in neuroscience and psychology, Cain will change standard views of the best way to develop leaders, manage teams, make smart hires, and stimulate innovation.
