EP 110. Introverted Leadership: Why Quiet Leaders Make Powerful Managers with Salvatore Manzi
What if being quiet was actually your greatest leadership advantage?
In this episode, I’m joined by leadership communications coach Salvatore Manzi, who has spent over 20 years helping analytical, technical, and introverted leaders find their voice and lead with impact.
Together we talk about why introverts often make some of the best leaders - and how you can embrace those strengths to grow your influence.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The biggest myths about introverts in leadership - and how to bust them
- Why introverts bring unique value in meetings, decision-making, and team dynamics
- Practical tools to “break the seal” and speak up with confidence
- How leaders can create space that allows quieter voices to thrive
- Tangible reframes and strategies introverts can use to turn their nature into a superpower
Quiet leaders are often the ones who bring thoughtfulness, emotional intelligence, and balance to a team.
This episode will show you how to use those qualities as strengths and shift the way you think about leadership.
