Are Introverted Leaders Better?

Over the years we seem to have developed this culture and belief that extroverts make better leaders?  Susan Cain presented a keynote speech on “The Power Introverts” which puts forth a pretty intriguing and thought provoking case as to how we see and value introverts within a team or organisation especially when it comes to creativity and productivity.

Watch the video below

As you can see with a third to a half of the population being introverts its important within any organisation or team to create an environment (or zone of stimulation) that nurtures both extroverts and introverts so that each individual is able to maximise their talents. Its about having that balance and changing the ways we currently do things to cater for the introverts so that they too can shine.

Rio Tinto – Treasure Hunt Team Day

What a great day we had in Perth yesterday with the team from Rio Tinto during their Treasure Hunt up in Kings Park.

Donning their best “Pirate” costumes, teams went all out to gain extra coins by being the best dressed team and that award on the day went to team “Autoplunder” and here’s why:

Department of Agriculture & Food WA – Win it in a Minute

Always a winner! Another Win it in a Minute program in Perth this week and another great result.

The program is a great way to get everyone together on a fun and social level and involve them in a program that creates some fantastic team spirit and cohesion.

The team from the Department of Agriculture and Food WA took part in their Win it in a Minute on Thursday and whatever initial thoughts participants entered with were left at the door as they went against the clock to earn top points and become champions for the day.

The scores at the end of the program were as follows:

3rd Place = Purple 300 points
2nd Place = Grey 900 points
1st Place = Blue 1000 points

It was tight at the top, but the BLUE TEAM won and took home the medals and bragging rights for the day.
