Leadership Thought #249 – Isolate Yourself At Your Own Risk
The simple fact is that life involves dealing with people, especially if you aspire to a leadership position. If you are an introvert, you will need to stretch your style to meet the requirements of management and leadership. If you want to have a successful relationship with another person, you will need bonding time together. If you opt to become a parent, you will need to put your needs second to your children’s. If you want to have a circle of friends and colleagues, then you will need to invest time and energy in keeping these friendships alive and healthy. You must balance these factors against your desire for solitude.
