Embrace Yourself
Some of the most effective managers are shy or introverted. The unique ability to elevate their teams' strengths from a "behind-the-scenes" perspective is a great skill. It is essential, however, to embrace your full self, including your shyness, rather than trying to overcome it. Being your authentic self in leadership gives your team permission to do the same, deepening trust and engagement. - Tonyalynne Wildhaber, The Courage Practice
