This Fireside Chat with Jennifer and Bill is brought to you by the Double-Booked Book Club. After reading and discussing “The Introverted Leader” in January, we were able to connect with Jennifer Kahnweiler, the author of “The Introverted Leader,” "The Genius of Opposites," “Quiet Influence,” and her new book “Creating Introvert Friendly Workplaces,” and her associate Bill Yates of Velociteach to offer our members the opportunity to ask questions about introversion and leadership in the workplace.
