Revenge of the Introverts: How to Gain Power, Respect & Influence

Dictionary.com defines Introvert as “a shy person… a person characterized by concern primarily with his or her own thoughts and feelings.. to direct (the mind, one's interest, etc.) partly to things within the self.” These descriptors do not suggest that introverts are weak and lacking in power. On the contrary, introverts direct their powers inwardly (to their own thoughts and feelings) compared to extroverts who direct their power outwardly (to other people and outside interests). But, what impact does inward projection have on how the world perceives you as an introvert? Do you carry the same credibility, power and respect as extroverts? If not, how can you use your introversion to become a force to be reckoned with?
