Dr. Linny Phuong sits down with Associate Professor Kerryn Ireland-Jenkin to explore the dynamics of introversion and extroversion in leadership. Inspired by Susan Cain’s book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, they discuss how personality traits shape leadership styles, decision-making and workplace dynamics in medicine.
Kerryn shares her personal leadership journey—navigating the complexities of medical leadership, adapting to different communication styles and creating psychologically safe spaces where every voice is valued. She reflects on the challenges of stepping outside her comfort zone, how ambiversion plays a role in her leadership and the importance of fostering inclusive environments for both introverts and extroverts.
Key discussion points include:
- How introverts and extroverts recharge and engage in leadership
- The evolving perception of leadership in medicine
- Strategies for ensuring all voices are heard in high-stakes environments
- The balance between authenticity and professional expectations in healthcare
- The role of psychological safety in effective teamwork
Whether you identify as an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between, this episode offers valuable insights into how different leadership styles can contribute to a thriving medical workforce.
