Yeah. Some people seem to assume "being an introvert" means being sentenced to social ineptitude. Most people can learn to overcome discomfort with certain experiences or activities. And with some effort, it's possible to even become good at such activities. Certainly, YMMV and not every introvert wants to, needs to or necessarily can pull it off.

If you're going to be CEO, either of a startup or a large co, you're probably broadly competent or hyper-competent in a handful of areas. Seems reasonable that at that level your ex/introvert tendencies are far from determinant.

"If you're going to be CEO, either of a startup or a large co, you're probably broadly competent or hyper-competent in a handful of areas."

Any particular reasoning behind this? Why would this particular specialty (abstract people management and capital allocation) be more likely to attract competent people than any other job specialty?
