About this listen

Today, we’re exploring introversion and extroversion in leadership and teams.


A common perception is that introversion and extroversion are about shyness or confidence. However, research from the Five-Factor Model shows they’re really about how we gain and use energy. Introverts recharge in quieter, lower-stimulation environments, while extroverts draw energy from interaction and activity. Most people sit somewhere in between on a spectrum.

These differences shape how we lead, communicate and cope with pressure, and when workplaces misunderstand them, wellbeing and performance can suffer.

To explore this, I’m joined by two incredible guests:

Alfie Joey, whose career in broadcasting, comedy and coaching gives him a unique perspective on how personality influences communication, creativity and confidence.

Richard Lane, co-founder of durhamlane, who specialises in sales outsourcing and performance. He has worked extensively with a wide range of leaders to help them play to their strengths.
