In this week’s show * Leadership and introversion * Introversial news items: A DIY store problem about unwritten, but obvious rules and and uplifting way to deal with car thieves * A discussion with Paul Harris: Paul helps farmers to build harmonious high-performance teams * Contact Paul at http://www.real-success.co.uk/ * Question of the week: What is the most engaging speaking style for an introvert to hear?

My takeaways from the discussion were:

• The “macho” view that leadership is about extroversion, demonstrated by speaking up and having gravitas is wrong.
• Farming has the same leadership issues as many other sectors, some may even be magnified.
• The basic assumption that people are like us, leads to communications and productivity issues, no matter how much we think it should be true.
• Good leadership means making less assumptions and going deeper into understanding people.
