According to the meta-analysis on the Big Five personality traits, how does Extraversion-Introversion relate to leadership emergence and effectiveness? Compare these results to the results for the studies on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) for Introverts and Extraverts. Do you think occupational differences might influence whether Introverts or Extroverts make better leaders? If so, what occupations might be appropriate for each type?
What will be an ideal response?
Big Five Meta-analysis: Extraversion is important to leader performance: For leadership effectiveness, the only two important traits in the multiple regression were Openness and Extraversion—the other three were not statistically significant. Extraversion was also related to leader emergence: Extraversion was somewhat more important than Openness when predicting to leadership emergence, so its overall effect was slightly greater. This suggests that leaders need to be open to new ideas in order to develop plans and effective strategies and extraverted enough to emerge as the leader and to get others to go along with the plans. MBTI: The makers of the MBTI claim that all types are equally valid and effective. Gardner and Martinko (1996) also found no differences between Extraverts and Introverts in managerial effectiveness. They noted that there was wide variability in the percentage of Introverts and Extraverts according to the study setting; this suggests that occupational differences may be important with regard to Extraversion vs. Introversion. Thus, the key to leadership success might be to find the occupation that matches one’s Extraversion or Introversion type. Another study found virtually no difference between Extraverts and Introverts on overall derailment characteristics.
