I’ll start with the good and then go into the bad.
The book Quiet was an
interesting read for me as an introvert. I think it helped me to understand
myself better and to see how my own talents can make me a better leader, even
in an extroverted world.
As a leader, I found the reading even more interesting as it
explored the ways in which groups accomplish, or don’t accomplish, their tasks.
An interesting reflection on the nature of human interactions, this book is a
good read for anyone interested in learning more about those interactions.
The book, however, is not a “fun” read and I found it
difficult to motivate myself to finish it in the midst of graduate exams. It’s
certainly not what I would choose to read in the evening when my time is
limited—there are so many more interesting books to read.
So, in the end, while I would recommend it as a great
resource for introverts, extroverts wanting to understand introverts, and
leaders wanting insight on leading large groups, I would not recommend this
book as one to curl up with. Perhaps it would be better as a resource than as a
book to read cover to cover.
