Quiet: The Power of Introverts In A World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain
In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so.
“Research by Adam Grant at the Wharton School has found that introverted leaders often deliver better outcomes than extroverts do, because when they are managing proactive employees, they are much more likely to let those employees run with their ideas, whereas an extrovert can, quite unwittingly, get so excited about things that they put their own stamp on things and other people’s ideas might not as easily bubble up to the surface, ” says Susan.
I highly recommend this book. It should be a required reading for anyone who manages or interacts with introverts in any capacity.
Some transformative leaders in history have been introverts, such as Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt and Rosa Parks. Not only do I share in introversion with these great leaders, but I also share in being called a member of the illustrious Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated with honorary Sorors Eleanor Roosevelt and Rosa Parks.

Me…on a nice Sunday.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11
I am not overly religious. Sometimes my faith wavers. I do not always think positively. But, because I believe so strongly that God is real, that HE wants the best for me and loves me, those low moments do not last long.
I know that God is with me, God is helping me, God is guiding me.
I pray the same type of comfort and peace for YOU.
