INTRO OR EXTRACT?
In this article we suggest you a pill of our Human Capital Expert, Luke Fenati, part of the Universitybox team.
Within the team, Luca takes care of everything from the analysis to the design of the strategy up to the determination of the tools to create and implement a Employer Branding Strategy effective and medium-long term, coherent and adequate.
Luca's CV is extensive, with multiple consulting experiences in complex multinational companies and management of international teams and it is precisely this knowledge that acts as a glue with the other members of the team who deal with the communication and marketing part with a particular focus on the world of Millennials.
How many times have you asked yourself in job interviews whether it would be better to choose an introvert or an extrovert? Sure, there are profiles that lend themselves to being filled by extroverts and others by introverts, but which of the two will be more successful? Extroversion or introversion are not in themselves factors of success or failure, neither at work nor in society.
If we take their meaning, they do not represent people's abilities (which are dictated by other factors such as intelligence, motivation, skills), but represent behavioral needs.
To put it simply and emphatically: a talented introvert with a desire for social affirmation will always be more capable in relationships than a self-centered and unintelligent extrovert.
Taken purely, however: the extrovert has a need for visible and faster expression than an introvert, who has different times in creating relationships, and a higher level of selectivity.
Forcing the issue a bit, we could say that in the short term, the extrovert has more social and relational skills than the introvert, but in the long term, it could be a different story.
At work, the two characteristics have exactly the same potential for success: because they do not determine the quality of people, but the way in which people use their qualities.
There is a cultural factor, however, where in a country like Italy, the extroverted manager is in the conscious/unconscious image “cooler” than the introverted manager. In other countries, for example Scandinavian ones, this is often not the case.
Do you want to ask Luca for advice on the world of talent, of Millennials?
