A Witcher's take on why introverts, with their thoughtful silence and pointed questions, are more effective leaders than those bumbling extroverts who can't stop flapping their gums.
A Witcher's take on why introverts, with their thoughtful silence and pointed questions, are more effective leaders than those bumbling extroverts who can't stop flapping their gums.

Meeting of the Minds (or Lack Thereof)

Been wandering the path for years seen all sorts. Humans elves dwarves... and those creatures who just can't stop yapping. This Falk fella a 'leadership consultant' as they call 'em seems to have noticed the same thing. Extroverts charge in swords drawn but often miss the mark. Introverts they're the ones watching from the shadows planning their moves. More monster less man eh? Heard it before.

The Brain: A Witcher's Best Weapon (and an Introvert's Too)

Falk says introverts' brains work different. Well duh. They don't go rushing into every brawl. Discomfort pushes 'em to think deeper. Just like downing a Witcher potion – nasty going down but you get the edge. They plan they choose words carefully. Precision is key whether you're crafting a silver sword or negotiating a contract. I say 'Hmm that's interesting,' when really I'm picturing how to disembowel a griffin. Same principle just different applications.

'I Honestly Don't Know': A Phrase Rarer Than a Golden Dragon

Admitting you don't know something? In this world? That's rarer than a griffin's egg. Everyone's got an opinion even if it's dumber than a drowners' dinner. But introverts apparently they'll just say 'I don't know.' Falk calls it refreshing. I call it a sign of intelligence. Better to admit ignorance than stumble into a kikimore nest thinking it's a flower garden.

'What's Your Take?': A Genuine Question (Probably)

Asking for another's opinion? Now that's subversive. Most folk are too busy trying to prove they're the smartest in the room like mages arguing over who can cast the biggest fireball. Introverts says Falk actually value other's perspectives. Imagine that. I'd rather face a dozen ghouls than listen to some fool spout nonsense but maybe there's something to this 'collaboration' nonsense after all.

'I've Spent Some Time Looking Into This...': The Introvert's Subtle Flex

Extroverts boast about effort like bards singing their own praises. 'I worked all night! I toiled! I suffered!' And for what? A half arsed report and a hangover? Introverts they just say they 'looked into it.' Means they probably spent days poring over scrolls while the extroverts were busy drinking and gambling. Quality over quantity that's the Witcher's way. And apparently the introvert's too.

How to Think and Speak Like a Witcher (er Introvert)

So how do you become more like one of these quiet types? Speak with purpose says Falk. No vague generalizations. Structure your thoughts. Sounds like a Witcher preparing for a contract. Know your enemy plan your attack and don't waste words. Easier said than done especially when you're surrounded by babbling fools. But hey a Witcher can dream can't he?

    Is it possible to be both an introvert and a Witcher?
