Some of the most admired leadership skills that come fairly naturally to introverts:

• “Empathic listening: introverts often hear beyond the words, so they pick up what’s not being said too. They are more likely to let people finish what they’re saying and rarely talk over people. Unless they’ve been ‘cut off in their prime’, which is a fairly common occurrence.
• Observation: introverts are great noticers and pay attention to subtle signals that are often missed by others. This enables them to check in with where people are at and how they are doing or feeling.
• Clarity: introverts are known for being sparing with their words, so they say what needs saying without the fluff and padding. This skill is invaluable in a leader.
• Empowerment: introverts prefer to stay out of the limelight so enable others to shine. When they do take center-stage, though, they are composed, structured and calm. Hype only lasts for so long!
• Situational humility: being prepared to say I don’t know enables others to do the same. When leaders model this behavior, the foundations for psychological safety are laid, trust is built, and loyal followership is close behind.”

maybe good starting point might be what the purpose of reticence is, any reticence, what’s normal social reticence, of the range

I mean surely even the most extroverted gregarious people have some, otherwise it would be a condition of some sort wouldn’t it, you’d be a maniac

consider wandering into a new social setting completely uninhibited, no caution at all

some reticence and inhibition (the mechanisms involved) must overlap social sensitivity and cultural receptivity

I like the murderous introverts
