Ever felt like your passion was overlooked because you're not a poster child for enthusiasm? New research reveals that introverted passion is just as valuable as its extroverted counterpart.

Think Alex Arnold or Stephen Curry. Their quiet dedication and deep-rooted passion have propelled them to success.

But here's the catch: Managers often mistake outward enthusiasm or performative passion for genuine passion. This can lead to biased evaluations and missed opportunities.

So, what can you do?

• Establish Objective Measures: If you're a passionate introvert, ensure your performance is measured objectively. Where is the summit?
• Recognize the Value of Introverted Passion: Managers, it's time to look beyond the surface. Reward passionate performance, not performative passion.
