Quiet Leader by Sissel Heiberg is the ideal textbook to help introverted business professionals “come out of their shell”, by using their introversion to improve their leadership. Unlike the traditional leadership books that focus on “fixing” introversion, this textbook provides the toolkit to nurture your strengths as a leader and manager.
You don’t have to be loud to be a good leader. 
Up to 50% of people are introverts, and yet traditional leadership books focus on how to “fix” introversion so you can be a better leader. But what if being quiet made you a better leader? Introverts are naturally better listeners, more receptive to ideas, and better able to make employees feel motivated and valued so they perform better.  
This book will help all introverts in business understand the value they add, help them become better leaders, and how to understand and overcome the extrovert bias they might encounter. Rather than changing your personality, Quiet Leader will help you use your strengths as an introvert to bring out the best in colleagues and team members, and give everyone - extroverts included - a better understanding of how to become better leaders themselves. With tangible examples and new ideas, you’ll find ways to enhance your introvert skills by adopting the strategies and tools provided. 

Sissel Heiberg is an introverted business leader with almost 20 years of governance experience in the extrovert-dominated field of investment banking. In her career, she has had a wide range of professional experiences that have led her to reflect on her own journey as a business leader and the existing leadership stereotypes. She would like to use her background to provide a new perspective to help other introverted leaders and expand the conversation on what good leadership looks like.
