The Introverted Manager’s Guide to Small Talk

Nov 4 · 1 min read

Hey Everyone,

I admit it. Small talk makes me cringe, especially at work. Talking about the weather or the weekend seems such a waste of time when there’s so much work to do.

So imagine my shock to learn that small talk can actually be used to make us MORE efficient. In fact, that’s how extroverts are using it. Nope, they don’t care about the weather or weekend any more than us introverts do. They’re simply finding ways to connect with us so that we can work together more effectively down the road.

Wow. Color me shocked.

The good news is that we can all learn this skill. Check out more here:
