So if you have really passive employees — people wait for direction from higher ups, need being told what to do — extroverts provide a vision and a strategy and energize followers to step up and contribute. He found indeed that extroverts, “when they had passive employees, their stores were about 16% more profitable than introverts’ stores.”
