Encouraging Collaboration Between The Extrovert and The Introvert at Work
Generally, people are categorised as being either an introvert or an extrovert. Introverts are usually seen as being more reserved, prefer smaller groups rather than larger ones, and don’t speak up unless prompted. Extroverts are usually known for being more outgoing, sociable, and seem more enthusiastic, but they can also be impulsive. Nonetheless, recognising these traits in colleagues or team members at the office can only be beneficial when the extrovert and the introvert at work are able to collaborate in a way that brings out their full potential.

Creating the Best Work Experience
What goes into creating a positive work environment? Well, if you asked anyone a decade ago what they valued in a work environment, they might have described someplace tucked away – perhaps isolated in an office cubicle, or even in the seclusion of their own homes. Prioritizing factors such as solitude and privacy, most of them would likely grapple with understanding today’s phenomenon of flexible working.
