What’s Next? Continuing to Build on Your Quiet Strength

This book provides tools for many leadership situations you face as an introverted leader in an extroverted world. Table 6 provides a template for you to customize a plan for your unique challenges. It is designed to help you track your progress using the 4 Ps as a roadmap. Here is how it works:

List a key challenge you experience as an introvert. Consider how you can apply each P to help you confront that challenge. Note the sample below to demonstrate how the template works and to help prompt your thinking. You will also find two blank templates for you to complete on your own.

An idea: If another format suits you better (such as taking notes and creating your own customized roadmap), please feel free to use that. The important idea is to make a plan, write it down, and record how it is working. That is how you will see progress. The process can be even more effective if you find a partner, which allows you to support each other and inserts accountability into your next steps.

May you have great success as you build on your quiet leadership strengths and bring out the best in yourself and others.
