Susan Cain, author of Quiet, speaks on the power of introverts, who often struggle in the group work environments that have become so popular in schools and open plan workspaces.
“For some, solitude matters. It is the air that they breathe.”
“One third to one half of all people are introverts.”
“We have moved from a culture of character out on the frontier to a culture of personality in urban settings. Magnetism and charisma are now seen as important.”
“Studies show that we rank fast and frequent talkers as more competent, likable and even smarter than slow ones.”
“Stop the madness of constant group work. Just stop it.”
