“In the first study, Grant and his colleagues analyzed data from one of the five biggest pizza chains in the United States. They discovered that the weekly profits of the stores managed by extroverts were 16 percent higher than the profits of those led by introverts—but only when the employees were passive types who tended to do their job without exercising initiative. Introverted leaders had the exact opposite results. When they worked with employees who actively tried to improve work procedures, their stores outperformed those led by extroverts by more than 14 percent.” FirstsStatesJobsUnitedResultsLeaderUnited StatesStudyFiveTypeHigherExercisePercentOppositesProfitStoresChainsDataEmployeeGrantsInitiativePassiveIntrovertColleaguesProceduresPizzaIntrovertedExtroverts Author:Susan Cain
