Thank you so much for sharing word o...Christopher,<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing word of my new eBook with your readers; I sincerely appreciate it! In regard to your premise, I think it goes back to what I refer to in my eBook as "playing along the scale." Introverted leaders must get out of their comfort zones at various points in their day-to-day activities to motivate large groups and network with their peer groups, and they must learn to be great at these things. At the same time, introvert/extrovert is all about *preferences.* Someone who is truly an introvert will prefer to work with others onoe-on-one or in small groups...and that preference should be honored whenever possible in order to nurture the greatest degree of personal fulfillment. All the best!Lisa Petrillihttp://www.lisapetrilli.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672393512968446215.post-42482047922344778362011-12-10T06:56:40.087-08:002011-12-10T06:56:40.087-08:00Hi Steve.

I completely understand your perspective and you may never be energized by cocktail parties.<br /><br />As a caveat, I choose to believe that one can master anything that one desires through practice. The question is whether practice and mastery can actually change the thought patterns and intrinsic makeup of an introvert. Can an introvert learn to be energized by activity and interaction?<br /><br />Thanks for the comment and discussion!Christopher Ziomekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186493806072493090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672393512968446215.post-43064730087245012262011-12-10T06:41:06.920-08:002011-12-10T06:41:06.920-08:00I agree with you, Christopher, that certain practi...I agree with you, Christopher, that certain practices are important no matter what one's natural disposition is. I will never not be an introvert, but I've sought to add outgoing layers to my interactions with people simply because - well, I need to! It does become second nature in a sense, but it doesn't change the fundamental underlying personality type.Steve Woodruffhttp://www.connectionagent.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672393512968446215.post-17819877032444011452011-12-07T06:40:16.163-08:002011-12-07T06:40:16.163-08:00Hi Michael.
