So, here are a few tips to help your introverted self or others at workplace, home or social life as well.
1 - Give and take adequate space: If you know of an introvert or are one then you know that space is supreme. Introverts can get a lot of energy when they have space to themselves, this doesn’t necessarily mean isolation, it means letting them know that you care and can help. If you are an introvert yourself, then let someone know about you
2 - Be polite and firm, respectful and direct: Politeness, assertiveness and respectful behavior, while being direct with introverts really helps. Not only does this get the job done faster, it also lets them be in their own best behavior where they can perform better.
3 - Understand and listen: If an introvert speaks up or you get them to speak up, make an effort to understand and listen carefully to what they are saying, sometimes this helps them feel wanted in the society, organization culture and even home.
4 - Leverage technology and electronic communications: Meetings often drain the best of the best extroverted personalities as well, so imagine the effect it would have on introverts. Often the best thing to do it let them communicate electronically and to maximize the use of technology in terms of collaborative tools, emails and social media to get them to maximize output.
5 - Give and take time to think, prepare and present: One asset that introverts and extroverts value is schedule time. Introverts require time to think things through and present and prepare their substance before they can speak up. So one should provide this leeway!
