Dr. Hiriyappa outlines the workplace requirement when it comes to extroverts and introverts and the choice that a prospective employer will make between the two during an interview. What makes this title an interesting read is it's contextual connect with the contemporary millennials and the seasoned yet consistent employees who almost unanimously agree that an individual’s personality can be repulsive or attractive and it’s the personality of a person which leads to wonders at work. If used and put to task in a certain way, unmatched success scores in work spheres will no longer be a far cry.
