Introvert or Extrovert?? Which skills are important for PMs?

Anonymous

Project Management has a need for both introversion and extroversion. Being aware and knowing where you are on the spectrum allows you to be able to compensate and flex accordingly given the team dynamic you are working in.

Its is assumed that most project managers are extroverts. I do not believe this to be true. Nobody is all one or the other.

Different PM's fall all throughout the spectrum of being introverted or extroverted.
- Extroverts tend to need to work more on listening skills.
- Introverts tend to need to work more on the 'nagging' skills.

Where do you fall on the spectrum and how to you compensate?

I think project management requires application of leadership, culture and methods to be successful with the ability to lead from front. So, I believe you need a balance of both in order to succeed. Also, both introverted and extroverted project managers will need to flex their personality in line with the situation.

Exactly
