With a significant percentage of human population falling under the personality type category of “introvert”, it is a fact that all workplaces will have quite a few of them. Certain jobs or certain times in all jobs require a degree of networking which no one can escape. Genuine talent management would involve getting such introverts to get the best out of conferences or informal meet-ups for mutual benefit of the professional and organization. Instead of dissuading them from attending these, they must be encouraged but given sufficient time off in between to ‘recharge’. Even if they do not actively network, they may be the right personnel for taking important notes and processing the minutes for all to comprehend. The fewer connections they will develop might be on a deeper level than those who connect with more people. A lot of them could be behind the scenes deals being struck. There could be some topics, where even they can suddenly become active speakers if it is from their interest area
