Introverted CEOs- 4 in 10 top executives are introverts, a little lower than the 50-50 ratio among those 40-plus in the U.S. Introverts say they succeed because they have inner strength and think before they act. When faced with difficult decisions they worry little about what others will think of them. Although not shy by definition, they become drained by social encounters and need solitude to recharge. Whereas, extroverts are energized when with people and drained by being alone. Extroverts typically have many friends. Introverts prefer to know a few people well, which fits many CEOs who often say it’s lonely at the top. (USA Today 6/7/06)
