Session description: Based on over +450 interviews with C Suite executives and +100 interviews with Generation Z or younger Millennials this research project is resulting in a book, “We Are All Ambiverts Now” to be published by Stanford Press in 2022. Human beings are very complex, one useful way to think about people is if they are introverts, ambiverts or extroverts. It is a bell curve, most people are a bit introverted or extroverted, a few are more toward the ends of the curve. When you understand yourself, your manager, peers, and employees, you can work more effectively with them if you know where they fit on the spectrum.
