HBIC: The Introvert’s Armor
Manage episode 388935287 series 2923058
The HBIC is in the room *snap* Being a boss is the way that introverts armor up so they can lead in their comfort zone. This expertise-forward strategy takes no excuses and harbors no fools. It's a persona that's highly entertaining in celebrities and provides sick dialogue in books and movies. IRL, it's another thing entirely.
- Adopting a no excuses attitude means you aren't willing to consider alternative approaches and feel attacked by dissent. Cracking the whip makes people walk away not stay in line.
- Going it alone sets you up to over commit and over perform. That lone wolf tactic is super exhausting and keeps you isolated from your team.
- Leaning into your expertise feels good to introverts. But as you wax poetic from your ivory tower, you aren't making authentic connections. Dictating isn't co-creating.
- Getting things done seems good - until you bulldoze over other people because you aren't giving the process room to breathe.
- Use questions, not criticism when discussing things that challenge your truths and expectations.
