Are introverts suitable for management positions?

First of all, I use a set of data to tell you that nearly 70% of the world-famous managers and leaders are introverted. So, you say, are introverts suitable for management positions? In addition, what I want to say is that managers have no essential relationship with introversion or extroversion. Why do you say that?

First, what is the manager? Managers are coordinators, directors, organizers, planners and controllers. What are not available to introverts? What does this have to do with introverts?

Third, who are suitable for management positions? A person with solid business, professionalism and comprehensiveness, who is good at analyzing and solving problems; Those with good quality, leadership and charm; They are good at knowing people, employing people, controlling people, and knowing people well and doing their duty well. These seem to have nothing to do with whether they are introverted or not.

Therefore, there is no doubt that introverts are certainly suitable for management positions. Or managers are not necessarily related to introversion or extroversion.

Whether introverted or extroverted, they are suitable to be managers. People are learned, not born. Personality determines people's inferiority, and doing things determines people's ability. The key is to see if you have the ability to manage affairs.

Whether a person is suitable for management positions cannot be measured by extroversion and introversion alone. But if we have to make decisions based on personality, I personally think that introverts are the most suitable managers in the team, because introverts are born with the aura of' not being angry and self-defeating' and can manage the team better.

First, not all introverts are humble and useless. They just don't want you to see it. In our impression, introverts just can't talk and don't like to talk. Only Nuo Nuo is as timid as a mouse. But unfortunately, this intuitive impression is the most wrong. According to the survey, introverts account for 80% of the success rate. Then according to the 28 th Law, 80% of those 20% successful people are introverted, which is obviously impossible.

But why is there such a statement? Because every successful person has the label of "introversion", they will make themselves humble and become a hidden person. They look ordinary on the surface, but in fact they are full of knowledge, so they will kill you at the critical moment.

Introverts are born with this kind of "disguise", which makes people unable to see through. I don't know how much he weighs. People who can take part in work, survive and even compete for work, no matter how introverted and quiet he is, have enough strength, but he is too lazy to let you know.

Second, an introverted person, when he can't refuse, will stand on the stage. Can't an introverted person do the work? Of course not. Take myself as an example. I am also an introvert. At this moment, just because of work, I have to answer questions at length. Even if you don't like to communicate with people at ordinary times, there is no problem if you have enough money to stand on the stage of tens of thousands of people.

If an introvert becomes a manager in a team, he will have more responsibilities and more work content. When he has to communicate with others, then he will force himself, because he is not lack of courage, but used to silence.

Entrepreneur Kai-Fu Lee is Obama's classmate. "Obama and I are both introverts," he said.

Look, what's wrong with introverts? Who else can I be when it comes to starting the beam? Just a management post, what's more!

Third, introverts are more likely to establish prestige in management positions. As mentioned earlier, introverted people are born with "disguise", which will make subordinates stay away from him because they don't understand what kind of role this introverted leader is. For leaders who cannot understand and understand, of course, it is best to be careful everywhere. After all, I accidentally put my foot in my mouth. Who knows if this introverted leader will leave me without food?

Pay attention to the relationship between managers and subordinate employees in the workplace. Only by having a harmonious relationship with employees can team management be more relaxed and harmonious, thus improving work efficiency. But in fact, this harmonious relationship needs to be grasped in a measured way. If the relationship is too good, the employees may be lawless, the relationship is too bad, and the team is not well managed.

Therefore, the introverted person's natural "disguise" can let him master this sense of proportion, because he will not get too close to the employees, nor will he let the employees become unscrupulous because of their close relationship, and will not make the relationship worse, because they will not have too much communication except necessary work, forming the effect of "not being angry and arrogant".

Fourth, management positions, there are many kinds of management contents, which have nothing to do with introversion. In the workplace, we have four common management contents:

0 1 gave the order: "I'll talk, you do it."

Its fundamental significance lies in giving full play to the responsibilities of managers and assigning work to subordinates. Is it related to introversion? It has nothing to do with half a dime.

Become a coach: "You can't, I'll teach you."

The team manager needs to be responsible for guiding the team's work and giving guidance when subordinates don't understand or don't understand. This is what managers must do. An introverted person, when he becomes a manager, has to do it.

03 promotion team: "discuss and decide together."

Team work is carried out by subordinate employees, and managers stand in the position of supervision and guidance. Most of the time, he can't be involved. What is needed is that he listens attentively to the voices of employees, which is just suitable for introverts to play this role.

Authorized employees: "You decide, you do, I check."

It is also the responsibility of managers to explore and cultivate employees' talents instead of doing everything by themselves, but it is no different from the explanation given in the first point, except that there is an inspection part, which has nothing to do with introversion.

To sum up, introverts are more suitable for management positions. An introverted person does not mean that he is incapable of working. On the contrary, an introvert is often more suitable to be a manager, because he is born with many advantages and can manage the team better.

Introverts are often hidden. As long as you give him a chance, he will make your eyes shine, because he is just used to introversion and doesn't need to change himself when it is unnecessary, but when he changes, he is the most powerful person.

Introversion and extroversion are not directly related to whether they are suitable for management, but there are still some people who are not suitable for management positions.

Many people have a very big misunderstanding: introversion = refusing to express communication = not socializing = autistic, away from others. People who often hold such misunderstandings are not only others' misinterpretation of introverts, but even their own introverts think that introversion is such an equation.

Among them, people who like to be alone don't like contact. Keeping a certain distance doesn't mean that they can't contact, nor does it mean that they are not good at communication and expression. Introverts just prefer to be independent or get along with close people in the way of getting along, but they don't exclude keeping a distance from society. He can also be very good at expression and communication, because he doesn't like to get in touch with people who are not close to him, and it has nothing to do with the expressive ability of inner communication.

In addition to not liking contact with people, other personality characteristics, such as quietness, introspection, thinking and emotion, have no direct relationship with the requirements of "managers", so introverted personality has no direct relationship with whether it is suitable for management positions. Ma once said that he is a typical introverted personality.

And in terms of personality, personality traits, and even professional interests, there are these categories that are really not suitable for management positions:

1. Perception is not only divided into extroversion and extroversion in personality temperament, but also into the dimensions of getting along with each other (extroversion and extroversion), whether judgment is based on thinking or feeling (perceptual rationality), and life and work preferences (judgment and perception). This is discussed and practiced in detail in the works of Dierske and MBTI.

Among them, perceptual rationality is the dimension, which is defined according to the different ways of thinking and habits of judging things. Emotional people are judged by preferences, feelings, values and experiences, and other factors except experience are all personal factors with great subjective influence. The ideal way to judge is to judge according to external information (data, facts, etc.). ), which is more objective.

Returning to the post, the more high-tech the post, the more it needs to be judged and analyzed based on objective facts, and it is difficult to ensure objective consistency by relying on personal preferences. But some similar design jobs are more suitable for sensitive people, because the standards of such jobs are difficult to define, such as graphic design, space design, fashion design, etc., all of which are related to beauty. This kind of work pays attention to feelings and experiences, but emotional people are particularly good at it. From management positions to top management positions, all its management is driven by data, which is used to judge the direction of the company's business and strategic development, evaluate its performance, and speculate its advantages and disadvantages with objective facts. It is also experienced, even accounting for a considerable proportion, but this experience is determined by combining its skills and abilities with objective facts.

So emotional people are not suitable for management, and rational people are more suitable.

There is a hot question, "Why do women do so little management?" Part of the reason is that women have very high perceptual characteristics and tend to treat things with feelings and emotions, which is fatal in management positions.

2. The distinction between skill-based and technical-based is not a personality trait, but a type of career anchor, which belongs to professional value preference and is an expression of personal accomplishment and development direction in the deep heart.

Professional anchors divide the crowd into eight types, among which technical professional anchors are characterized by their special love of learning, not afraid of boredom, and enjoying the sense of accomplishment of in-depth study of works in professional fields. They prefer to treat people with things, that is, they like to study the technical methods of things. They are a big technical coffee, contrary to people who like others.

Obviously, technical people are particularly prone to fall into a wrong management style in management positions: taking the lead and eventually becoming themselves; Don't do what your subordinates do when you see that they can't do well, do it quickly and well by yourself; Finally, subordinates became more and more idle, and they became more and more busy. This is a dilemma that technicians often face when they take up management positions, because they are not suitable for management.

3. Service-oriented service is also a category of professional anchors. Service-oriented people are particularly meticulous, good at observing other people's emotions and psychological reactions, and their own minds are particularly delicate. Combining the subtle observation of others and giving full play to their delicate characteristics, they are often considerate, meticulous and caring when serving others.

This kind of person is especially suitable for some service posts, such as logistics, administration, secretary, etc. However, if they hold management positions, it will be difficult to adjust their management roles, which will greatly weaken the management of subordinates. At the same time, they will ask their subordinates to do high-quality services in their work, which is not suitable in many work fields. Even management positions in service positions, such as logistics managers and secretaries, must have at least management characteristics as the second characteristic to be competent.

Therefore, service-oriented occupational preference groups are also not suitable for management positions.

People often label others with their own judgment results from the usual perspective of society: he is extroverted and he will make great achievements; He is introverted and has no future; He is extroverted and attractive with his eloquence; He is introverted and always bad at dealing with people. We can't say with great certainty that these judgments are completely wrong, but at least there is still a long way to go. Just as we divide people into "good guys" and "bad guys" in our minds, in fact, we can't kill them with one stick, one size fits all: he is absolutely extroverted and the other is absolutely extroverted. Think about it, are we extroverted and introverted? These common ideas often make people misunderstand introverts and extroverts.

In order to find out whether introverts are suitable for management positions, we need to find out two basic questions first: what is introversion or what is our definition of introversion, and the definition of management positions. "Management post" refers to what level of management post, grass-roots, middle-level, middle-level and high-level? What kind of management post is this "management post"? Is it the finance, administration, human resources, production, R&D and the general manager's office? And what kind of company management positions, such as marketing, preschool education, adult education, consulting company, production, housekeeping, research institute, state-owned enterprises, private enterprises and foreign enterprises?

Only by understanding these two basic problems can we compare the performance of introverts with the requirements of these companies for management positions, and thus draw the conclusion that introverts are suitable for management positions.

What is the definition of introversion? Psychologically speaking, the way introverts empower themselves, or the way they gain vitality, comes from their inner thoughts, emotions and ideas. In other words, only through communication and dialogue with yourself can you be at your best and give full play to your talents. They are sensitive to people, events and environment outside and feel uncomfortable. But we can't assume that introverts will completely shut themselves in their own world. A person often has the duality of introversion and extroversion, especially in adulthood. Because of the needs of society and survival, they know that they must learn to deal with the outside world, and they will gradually adapt to contact with the outside world over time. In this way, the original internal sexual orientation structure of 10% extroversion +90% introversion will be transformed into "30-40% extroversion +60-70% introversion". Although the introverted part of this structure still occupies more, the proportion of extroversion in this structure has increased. This is a normal "introverted personality" of an adult, not the "completely autistic introversion" we imagined.

Introverts have some characteristics: concentration, like deep thinking, like vertical deep research, self-reflection, tenacity, sense of responsibility, honesty and trustworthiness, modesty and eagerness to learn.

After we have some understanding of introversion, we need to meet the requirements of management positions to judge whether introverts are suitable for management positions.

A management position is a position that leads others to be responsible for the results of a function or department. It may be a team leader, a supervisor, a director, a manager, a director or a general manager. Under normal circumstances, management positions at the grass-roots level require pragmatism, two brushes of technology, and familiarity with the processes of their functions or departments; People in middle management positions need some endurance, understanding and interpersonal skills (persuasion, communication, adaptation and conflict resolution); Top management positions need foresight, foresight, determination, charm and foresight.

Among the requirements of these management positions, except charisma and foresight are gifted or extremely difficult to cultivate and obtain, others can be obtained through theoretical study and work practice.

Comparing the requirements of management positions with the characteristics of introverts, introverts are fully qualified for management positions. A person who can meet the quality requirements of 70-80% of management positions is already a very great manager. Especially in finance, research and development, consulting or company types, introverts may do better in management positions. These positions are often very professional in order to serve the public to the greatest extent.

A phenomenon just mentioned is extremely important for understanding introversion. This phenomenon is that introversion is dynamic, which can change from 10:90 structure to 30:70 or even 40:60 structure. Especially in the process of people moving towards society and maturity, it is human nature to have to accept and adapt to external interference for the sake of survival and survival. They learned to smile at an irrelevant person, they learned to greet strangers, and they learned to make proper contact with the outside world.

On the other hand, perhaps an extrovert will eventually turn inward because of blows, setbacks and secularism.

Personality is not an obstacle to a person's management position, but a state of mind that is content with the status quo.

The Journey to the West is actually a classic novel that reveals human nature. In this novel, Tang Priest is introverted, but he is the supreme leader. The Monkey King is extroverted, but he is a pawn used by Tang Priest. This example is not to tell you that extroverts are not suitable for management positions. Extroverts have their advantages in management positions, but so do introverts. People in management positions have different personalities and styles, and both introverted and extroverted have the potential to be management positions. Whether you can do it or not ultimately depends on your will. We can often see that extroverts cannot enter management positions, while introverts abound in management positions. Introverted Guan Yu and extroverted Zhang Fei are excellent examples. Finally, extroverted Chen Geng and introverted Lin * Biao are both powerful characters.

Conclusion: Introverts are certainly suitable for management positions, but it is difficult for people without ambition to do so. Introversion is not an obstacle, ambition is.

Personality doesn't mean that you can't engage in certain professional jobs. Introverts, like extroverts, have advantages and disadvantages in some positions. As long as they are good at making use of their advantages and avoiding disadvantages, they can do well.

The same is true for management positions.

In fact, management positions are not what we see, and extroverted talents are suitable.

On the contrary, most managers are introverted talents.

Just like those familiar managers, such as Ma Yun, Zhang Xiaolong, Ma Hua Teng, Li Yanhong, Jobs and Bill Gates, most of them are introverts.

But not only did they do their job impeccably, but so did the management team.

This is because introverts are more pragmatic, and they are better at speaking with actions.

1. Introverts are better at listening; In the process of communicating with introverts, there will be no consequences that the other person keeps talking and you can only listen awkwardly. Introverts are good at listening and thinking of others. They are introverted, but delicate in mind.

I once met an R&D director. He was very introverted and didn't talk about Kan Kan with everyone easily. But when it comes to the team, I won't hesitate.

Once an employee resigned, he never criticized him too much, but considered him from the other side's point of view. I am also glad to know that he has a good job and a good home.

This is what extroverted personality does not have. Extroverts are very good at communication, so they will talk endlessly. When communicating with the team, there may be situations where the leaders say and the employees listen. However, no one wants to listen to others all the time.

2. Introverts are better at doing practical things. Speaking of introverts, everyone's adjectives are more: quiet and introverted.

And people with this kind of personality characteristics, do things with care. They prefer to do a good job rather than interpersonal relationships and the world outside of work.

The advantage of this is that they can lead the team to strive for work performance. Under such a team, employees are better at doing practical things.

Just like introverted Zhang Xiaolong, she is good at working hard, creating more achievements and providing value for users. Zhang Xiaolong, I believe it goes without saying that everyone knows what a legend this is.

Created various well-known products such as Foxmail and WeChat, and can be said to be the top product manager of China Internet, comparable to Jobs.

3. Introverts are relatively low-key and modest. Here we have to mention a villain, that is, extroverted Liu.

Liu's low profile has nothing to do with humility. Arrogance and exaggeration are his images. It claims to treat employees as brothers, but in the face of the pregnancy of company executives and various benefits of employees, it is easy to lose their knives.

It can be said that although Liu has the ability to make it bigger, he has no ability to do it well.

Especially on 20 19, when all kinds of negative news reached Liu, he didn't have the strength to fight back at all.

The introverted and low-key people spend their minds on being officials, not all kinds of gimmicks and news.

To sum up, we can see that personality can not bring any restrictions to everyone. To say that limitation is also inner self-limitation.

Both Zhang Xiaolong, who is introverted, and Jack Ma, who is extroverted, have the ability to shoulder heavy responsibilities, manage the team well and do practical things.

Whether you are suitable for a management position is never determined by your personality.

There is no evidence that extroverts cooperate with leaders and introverts are not suitable.

The word introversion is just a personality classification, which represents a certain kind of habitual people and has no direct connection with work ability.

Therefore, whether introverted people are suitable for management should be analyzed from the following three aspects.

First, how about working ability? Working ability must be the most important indicator in the workplace.

Whether you are suitable for a management position depends first on your working ability.

Introverts don't mean that their jobs are bad.

Just like an assistant supervisor I met before, he is usually an introverted person who doesn't like to talk much, but his business level is first-class.

Every time a subordinate can't solve a problem, as long as he goes out, he will be able to solve it, so he is quickly promoted to supervisor.

Therefore, introverts can do management positions as long as they have strong working ability, and even do well.

Second, do you have communication skills? Management positions need to deal with people, so you must have high communication skills.

Most introverts seldom talk, giving people a feeling of being taciturn.

This is also the reason why many people think that introverts are not suitable for management positions.

But introversion doesn't mean that you can't communicate.

There are many ways to communicate, even if the interview is not suitable, you can achieve the effect of communication through other abandonment.

If introverts have strong communication skills, they can also hold management positions.

Third, there is no management means to manage posts, and there are many complicated interpersonal relationships, even conflicts and contradictions, so there must be management means.

Management is an acquired skill.

Some introverts may not be suitable for this position at first, but they have already done this job, and they will improve their management ability through continuous learning.

If such a person, must be suitable for management positions.

However, people who are really introverted, unable to communicate and unwilling to learn management are definitely not suitable for management positions.

Whether it is suitable for a position has nothing to do with personality, but with ability.

There is nothing suitable or inappropriate.

There is some truth in the saying that personality determines fate. It can be said that introverts are not suitable for managers. I think this is too one-sided. Too subjective.

First of all, good managers are in charge of people, not things.

A good manager should have the ability to know people and employ people. Choose people according to their positions, because they can choose people. Recruit talents for the development and growth of enterprises.

Secondly, a good manager should have perseverance to lead the enterprise to go deeper and further in a good development direction.

Third, a good manager should have extraordinary courage and boldness. Dare to challenge and be the first person to eat crabs.

Finally, a good manager will have a clear idea to strengthen the corporate culture of the enterprise he serves. Have a high sense of identity and belonging to their own corporate culture.

The pen refers to the subject,

Introversion is not dull, boring and unsociable. On the other hand, we treat the meaning of words with stereotypes.

If you want to be a good manager, you can determine your leadership ability.

Introversion is not a disadvantage. This is something I am very sure of. There is no good or bad personality.

To be a manager, you must have certain financial resources and knowledge reserves. The price paid behind becoming an excellent manager is worthy of cheering for him in the spotlight.

It is a waste of time to explain the immature ideas of the topic friends, and all the efforts deserve applause. How do you know the management position is suitable if you don't go up?

An introverted person, like a piece of gold, is buried in the ground and will not shine. How does he do management work?

Introverts should have courage, responsibility, perseverance, unique problem-solving ability, studious and enterprising, and strong insight. I believe that people with personality can hold some management positions. Usually, introverts are smooth, patient, thoughtful, not flustered, gentle and loyal to their duties.

To be a manager, you must know how to use people. Li Zongren, the leader of Guangxi Xingui Department, said that "there are no available soldiers, only inaction generals" is very reasonable. There are many management positions, such as workshop supervisor, production team leader, equipment management, logistics management, warehouse management, marketing management, financial management and quality management. The workers in the factory come from all corners of the country and have different working abilities and living habits. Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. As a manager, don't focus on the shortcomings of employees, but give full play to their strengths. For example, if a person is strong, he can cut lines, polish glass and clean glass according to exclusive rules, and if a person is weak, he can load, unload and carry heavy objects according to exclusive rules. Therefore, some factories have been recruiting people for a long time, and the recruits have not left for some time. Many of them work under their jobs and then move to another job. If they can't do it, they will leave.

As a manager, there should be a little humanized management, so that employees will not be lost. As the saying goes, a good horse is not as good as an ox. Make good use of people, give full play to the advantages of employees, and leave room for employees to play freely. Employees cannot be required to do five or six jobs a day. Now migrant workers have the right of two-way choice. Good welfare, high salary and good cultural environment. Nobody wants to leave a competent manager.

At present, some managers have a special relationship with their bosses. At a meeting in the morning, they said, "Everyone is here. Let's have an early meeting. We are all colleagues. Because we are destined to work together, the task is heavy, so we should do it quickly. If we procrastinate and refuse to obey the timetable, we will do it honestly if we want to, and leave if we don't want to. One more is not too much, and one less is not too little, including anyone. " These managers have heard a lot, but they feel nothing and laugh it off.

Introverts are also suitable for management positions, as long as you are lucky, insightful and responsible.
