Sleepless nights, feeling burned out, overworked\u2014but it was worth it. You\u2019re finally promoted to team lead. An elated feeling sweeps over you. Then reality sets in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How am I going to manage a team of 10 people if I\u2019m an introvert?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You dislike group meetings. It takes hours to decompress after a <a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/one-on-one-meeting-templates\/\">one-on-one<\/a> with your <a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/project-management-tips-for-managers\/\">manager<\/a>. Now you\u2019ll be leading one-one-ones and group meetings. If you thought you had a bad <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">people hangover<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before, get ready. You\u2019re now in charge of your team. You\u2019ll have to deliver results while keeping everybody happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How will you survive the onslaught? Can you cope with managerial tasks without sacrificing sanity?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absolutely. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The road ahead will be a daunting one. But you\u2019re an introvert\u2014thinking ahead is what you do. You\u2019ll handle this just fine. But you\u2019ll need to cope with four different aspects of being a manager: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing a managerial style<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One-on-one meetings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Team meetings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Executive meetings<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the go-to manual for introverted managers. Read on to see how easy it is to lead your team to success. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Try a Laissez-Faire Management Style<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/3orif627F2MRFcnpeg\" width=\"480\" height=\"366\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So\u2014you lead a team with many different personalities. Your task is to create a productive and stress-free working environment. You have to get to know <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of your team members. And you know how draining it will be. Worse, each person approaches their work in different ways. Do you take the time to get to know everyone, or is there a better way to approach it through a <a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/management-styles\/\">management style<\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose the latter. You can only give so much of yourself on a daily basis. You have other tasks to do not involving managing relationships and personalities. But your management style can solve some of these problems\u2014if you choose the right one. The best management style: a laissez-faire one. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/work.chron.com\/effects-autonomy-job-satisfaction-14677.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research shows employee satisfaction rises<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when they are given the freedom and responsibility for the quality of their work. It\u2019s all about autonomy. And it helps you avoid micromanaging 20 people at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let people handle more of their own decision making. If someone poses a problem ask: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what do you think we should do<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Posing the question back to them forces each employee to think\u2014and they will have good solutions as well. Delegate and detach. You won\u2019t feel emotionally involved in the ups-and-downs of daily work-life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Perfect Your Personal Meeting Style<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have 10 scheduled one-on-ones this week. They\u2019re pivotal to learning your employees\u2019 communication styles. It\u2019s the best way to get feedback on how their work is going. But it takes a toll on your nerves. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/emotional-freedom\/201102\/secrets-sensitive-people-why-emotional-empaths-stay-lonely\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an empath, you feel deeply<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In such a personal setting, you\u2019re bound to give your all\u2014and your energy levels will replenish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t let the onslaught of personal meetings crush you. You\u2019ll have to be prepared. For your employee, a one-on-one might be the most important meeting of the week. They set the agenda. It\u2019s your time to listen and hear them out. But you should give advice when they ask for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most effective time to schedule smaller meetings is in the late morning. This way, you can recharge over your lunch break. Ask open-ended questions: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s a recent situation you wish you handled differently? <\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What would have you changed?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What have your past managers done that you\u2019d like me to also do or not do?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t do well with small talk and irrelevant noise. And you want to make sure you get the most out of these meetings. Being prepared with a set of deeper questions will do the trick.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Use the Best Meeting Style for Introverts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s an important team meeting today. Major issues came up this week. The team needs to find a solution. You\u2019re tasked with leading the discussion. All eyes are on you. Welcome to the introverts\u2019 worst nightmare. How do you survive?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The obvious answer? Be prepared. Your team will look to you to lead so you should know what you\u2019ll say. But leading doesn\u2019t mean dominating. As an introvert, that\u2019s not your style anyway. The best managers guide people. It\u2019s your responsibility to involve the team. Call on them to share opinions and insights. If you sense someone\u2019s disengaged, call his name and ask an easy question. Interaction is critical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find it difficult to speak to larger groups, focus on a friend in the room. Try to talk to them while still addressing the room or group. Focusing on a confidant can take the pressure off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last, look at scheduling. Do your best to schedule big meetings only once a day. You can keep from getting drained by scheduling larger meetings in the late afternoon. That way, it happens just before you and others go home.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>C-Level Meetings: Your Time to Shine!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/3seEmCpXZvhuPxHWaI\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One-on-one and group meetings are a cinch compared to executive meetings. With higher-ups, you have to bring your A-game. You over prepare. You dread talking. And you\u2019re worried you\u2019ll come off unenthusiastic because you don\u2019t like small talk. Do you have to play the part of an extrovert while draining all your energy levels?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C-level meetings are the place for introverts to shine. Think about it. For executives, time is money. They don\u2019t want to repeat themselves. They want <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/zety.com\/blog\/active-listening-skills\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">people to listen actively<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They don\u2019t want someone who only works in their team\u2019s best interest. They want leaders who see the big picture. As an introvert, you\u2019re the perfect employee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Channel your introverted side in these meetings. Only speak when you have a decent contribution to make. Don\u2019t take the extroverted route, talking because you feel you have to. When you do speak, executives will take notice. This gives more weight to what you are saying. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Final Thoughts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being an A+ introverted manager is tough. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know the workplace is designed for extroverts. Worse, now your task is to manage them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But\u2014if you implement some changes listed here, you\u2019re bound for success. Choose a laissez-faire management style, be prepared for one-on-ones, and thrive in those C-level meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following this how-to guide will result in a happier and more productive team. And it\u2019ll help you deal with the onslaught of employee interaction as an introvert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, stay true to your strengths as an introvert and make some changes to manage your weaknesses\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you won\u2019t lose your sanity in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5745\" src=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/roger-maftean-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/roger-maftean-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/roger-maftean-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/roger-maftean.jpeg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>Roger Maftean<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You put in the time, effort, and energy to your role this past year.
