Did you know introverted leaders often deliver better results than extroverted leaders do? That the most spectacularly creative people tend to be introverts? That breakthrough ideas are more likely to emerge in solitude than in team settings? One of the greatest challenges in any organization is unlocking the full potential of its people. Yet when it comes to introverts—who make up one-third to one-half of the workforce—our leadership approach often asks them to behave like extroverts. The result? A costly loss of talent and energy. In her best-selling book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, Susan Cain reveals how introverts think, lead, and innovate in ways that are vital to the success of modern organizations. She explores essential questions: - How can we design workplaces where the best ideas—not just the loudest voices rise to the top? - In what ways do introverts and extroverts differ in problem-solving and risk-taking? - What can introverts teach us about creativity? Backed by original research and the latest in neuroscience and psychology, Susan offers a powerful new lens on leadership, hiring, team dynamics, and innovation. |
12 noon - 1:30 pm ET, Thursday, June 12
Join Susan Cain for a special conversation with Jim Tedford, CAWA, CEO of The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement, followed by an interactive Q&A.

Note: the recording of Susan and Jim's conversation will only be available through July 12, 2025.
