“Don't think of introversion as something that needs to be cured.”
― Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

“In fact, public speaking anxiety may be primal and quintessentially human, not limited to those of us born with a high-reactive nervous system. One theory, based on the writings of the sociobiologist E.O. Wilson, holds that when our ancestors lived on the savannah, being watched intently meant only one thing: a wild animal was stalking us. And when we think we're about to be eaten, do we stand tall and hold forth confidently? No. We run. In other words, hundreds of thousands of years of evolution urge us to get the hell off the stage, where we can mistake the gaze of the spectators for the glint in a predator's eye.”

“We don't need giant personalities to transform companies. We need leaders who build not their own egos but the institutions they run.”
