You’re a good listener and communicator Extroverts prefer to talk more, and introverts like to observe and listen. But ambiverts know when to speak up and when to listen. An ambivert might open a meeting by giving a brief pep talk, then offer employees the chance to talk about their own challenges or concerns. 2. You have an ability to regulate behavior Adjusting to fit the person or situation seems to come naturally to ambiverts. Imagine you’re riding in an elevator with strangers. An extrovert might start making small talk, but an introvert might put in earbuds to avoid interaction. You might choose either option, depending on your fellow riders. 3. You feel comfortable in social settings, but also value your alone time Ambiverts can feel like they’re in their element in a crowd or when enjoying a quiet evening at home. Say a friend calls with a last-minute invite for an evening out. An extrovert will likely accept without hesitation, and an introvert is likely to decline in favor of staying in. The ambivert will probably consider the pros and cons of that particular outing. They could go either way. 4. Empathy comes naturally to you Ambiverts are able to listen and show they understand where a person is coming from. If a friend’s having an issue, an extrovert might try to offer a solution right away, and an introvert might be great at listening. An ambivert might listen and ask thoughtful questions to try and help. 5. You’re able to provide balance In the case of group settings, ambiverts can provide a much-needed balance to the social dynamic. An ambivert might be the one to help break an awkward silence, making others who are more introverted feel comfortable starting a conversation. Benefits of being an ambivert Since ambiverts live in the middle, they have a unique ability to take advantage of traits on both ends of the spectrum. They might even have an easier time compromising when it comes to interactions because they can feel comfortable in a variety of different settings. Relationships An ambivert can learn how to master the positive aspects of both personality types. For example, you could be the life of the party, telling interesting stories and engaging an audience, but you can also listen carefully and gain someone’s trust. As a result, ambiverts might be able to develop more deep bonds. The extroverted traits may lead to meeting an interacting with more people, while the introverted traits can help nurture close friendships. Management style Both extroverts and introverts can make good bosses, but it often depends on the context and the people they’re leading. In the same way that leaders have different management styles, employees respond differently to management style based on their personality traits. A study published in the Harvard Business Review examined a U.S. pizza delivery chain with 57 stores to see if having an extrovert or an introvert as a leader lead to higher profits. Researchers rated each store leader on the introvert/extrovert spectrum based on traits they displayed. They found that extroverted leaders had higher profits when they led employees who were passive, meaning the workers preferred more direction and instruction. But they had lower profits when the employees were proactive, meaning the workers preferred to take on more responsibility themselves. The proactive workers would likely benefit more from an introverted leader. That’s because introverts have the ability to listen and help recognize the strengths in others. When it comes to managing teams, ambiverts may have an ultimate advantage. They can choose to display more extrovert or introvert qualities based on the needs of their employees. Ambiverts feel comfortable taking center stage if needed, but they also know when to step back and listen. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support
