What people misunderstand about me I am an introvert, posing as a professional extrovert.  Don’t confuse my tendency to work alone in my office with being disengaged.  My door’s always open.  I speak with conviction, but I’m not set in my thinking. I’m open-minded and always delighted to be shown a better way.  I make decisions quickly, but if you give me reasoning or data that points in another direction, I’ll happily change course.  Finally, I may be the boss, but I’m also a person, a teammate and a mess

I do like the “How To” at the end of the article.
